Looking for Alaska was a beautifully written novel that contains elements of friendship, loyalty, and love. It was interesting to see how the character of Pudge grows and learns from his new friend Alaska Young. However I become very sad for the characters when tragedy stuck leaving them all wondering why. I won’t spoil as to what happened but, I will say that for the second half of the novel it was intriguing as to how the characters recovered from their grief. It almost become like a mystery case that the characters were working on to discover more information about the tragedy. John Green does an excellent job of writing and this plot does not disappoint. Therefore, I give this novel 5 out of 5 stars.
