The book that I chose to read is called
Looking for Alaska, by John Green. As of today, I am more than half way done with the novel and so far it is phenomenal. The story line is good and it is very well written. The book encompasses all areas of the emotion spectrum; one second I am laughing and the next I am hit with a bomb filled with sorrows. The twists and turns seem predicable, but then the story takes a nose dive in a direction I never saw coming. The plot keeps me "on the edge of my seat" and I am curious to see how it will all end.
In the story, the main character dies from driving drunk. This reminded me of the "one bad decision" story about a boy who was badly injured while driving intoxicated.

I strongly recommend the book to anyone who is looking for a story about a junior's journey through the social aspects of life in boarding school. It encompasses drugs, drinking, sex, death, and all the fun of being a teenager.
... did you seriously just give away the ending?
ReplyDeleteWell at least there's some educational value by the end of the book. That's sad that it was just one mistake and that's it, his life is over.
But it's cool that the book is all emotional, I like that. It must have definitely made it very entertaining.
