![]() ![]() Getting drunk, smoking packs, having sex, eating bufriedos and pulling pranks were just some of the things that highlighted his Culver Creek experience. From the moment he stepped into his dorm room, every day became an adventure, perhaps more than he would’ve bargained for. ![]() There, he became friends with Chip “The Colonel” Martin, Takumi Hikohito and Alaska Young. Looking For Alaska is told from the perspective of Miles “Pudge” Halter who decided to move into Culver Creek boarding school in search of his Great Perhaps, some means to kill the doll drum of his somewhat normal yet unimaginative life in Florida. ![]() I wasn’t disappointed because, if anything, reading Looking For Alaska last made me love and appreciate all of John Green’s works even more. I made a conscious decision to read his first novel, Looking For Alaska, last. ![]() My journey into John Green’s books is pretty unorthodox. A stunning debut, it marks John Green’s arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction. Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words and tired of his safe life at home. ![]()
