Looking for Alaska
by John Green
Overall Goodreads Rating:4.20/5 stars
What I Rated It On Goodreads: 4/5 stars
Rating Based On Percentages: 85%
For Ages: 15+
Warnings: Underage drinking, smoking, porn watching, and oral sex occur. There is also a lot of cursing. If you are offended by any of these, I would strongly suggest that you don't read this book.
Blurb On The Back Of Book: "Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clover, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. I read it in two days with about five hours in total of reading it. It's short and it is a quick and easy read. However, this book would not be for everyone. I will just go ahead and warn you all that there is underage drinking, smoking, porn watching, oral sex, and almost sex. I'm not saying it was a full on erotica, because this is definitely a young adult book, but there should definitely be age limits on this. I honestly thing that being 15 and older would be alright, but really, this all depends on the person reading and (if they are a teenager) what their parents think. If you believe you are mature enough for this, then by all means, read it. It is a fun read. I enjoyed it a lot.
Basically, this isn't a book talk (I will have a Book Talk video up on my BookTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa_UDBJOmzsgoElQ_V4wphw/videos] soon). This is just me saying that I enjoyed it and me telling you if you would enjoy it by providing warnings and such. I don't want to spoil the book for you, so that is why I am keeping this to a minimum. More to come on my BookTube channel.
