John Green writes with a finesse that I believe no other author can truly ever embody. His novels bring great messages to their readers; this novel was no exception. Green writes with a tone that is both comical, yet deep; casual, yet serious. We all stand to learn something from the characters of Looking for Alaska; this book was truly awe inspiring, like no other. Looking for Alaska is a must read, and it will carry your heart on a journey with its magnificent characters who experience the heartbreak of a lifetime. And you will feel that heartbreak right along with them.
