Okay guys, I read my first John Green book. Epic isn’t even the word. I loved it and could easily read ‘Looking For Alaska’ at least twenty times. I now understand why people fall in love with his books, because they are brutally honest and real and totally captivating. I was shocked multiple times and if anybody could get an award for the ‘most devastating event to ever happen in a book’, then John Green would win hands down. He truly knows how to smack you right in the stomach, but personally,

Initially I was psyched to read a book from a teenage boy's perspective since the majority of the books are from girls' and once you've read one, you've basically read most of them.
I kept waiting for the book to get better but was disappointed when it failed to do so.

I think that John Green is a phenomenal writer. He conveys his stories in such a way that you feel so connected to the characters.

There are surprising twists and turns in this book and I highly recommend reading all his books
