On Looking for Alaska


I started Looking for Alaska by John Green yesterday. I just finished it. I mentioned yesterday that when I was a third of the book in, I wasn't blown away. I mean, it was good, but it just seemed like triviality with an occasional profound thought. At one third of the way into the book, John Green (who is one of my greatest role models), seemed to underestimate youth and follow the assumption that so many adults adhere to: that young people live to violate every law and regulation imposed on them. But, upon completing it, I get it.

You really need to read this book.
