REVIEW: Searching For Alaska by John Green
Pudge comes to a new school with his last one being a giant disappointment, no friends, no girlfriend, and no hope for a social life with friends. Thankfully, that isn't the way his new school goes, he finds friends a one in a lifetime love, and the greatest tragedy he may ever know in his adolescence. That's is when the search for The Great Perhaps begins, and when everyone begins looking for Alaska.
I can't help but feel that John Green didn't quite deliver, and that this book suffered from its own fame. I guess I was expecting something to wow me, but I am left feeling meh.
I loved watching Pudge grow as a person and out of the shell and good habits that he has always kept. I actually liked all of the characters, if John green has one talent it is that he can make his characters believable, fun, and loveable.
