Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Adriana M.

I read this John Green title because of all the good stuff I had read about "Looking for Alaska". It took me a while to get into the story, and although I'm usually a pretty fast reader, it took me about three weeks to get through it. I did end up really liking the main character, but personally I couldn't get into him and his friend leaving town and ending up in such an 'off' place. I guess this is what appeals to reluctant readers and those who want to read something truly unique. Although it wasn't an appropriate title for my own personal taste, I would definitely recommend the book to young adult readers, and I did enjoy the wit, sarcasm, acronyms, and slang terms the characters used, which was way better than using an actual cuss word. Very well written.
