I chose to read this book because I LOVE the author John Green. I've read almost all of his books and still have one more left to read so when I saw Looking For Alaska on the list I had to read it. Something that drew me to this book was the fact that it about something totally different than I expected it to be. I was thinking it would be about someone going on this journey to Alaska but I was completely wrong. Honestly if it was what I thought it would be about, I probably wouldn't have read it . This book can be easily connected to for me because in a sense I've gone to seek a "Great Perhaps" or in other words, look for some sort of meaning to my life. I used to be a lot like Pudge in this book. It was hard for me to find/kepp friends because I was very shy and awkward. But now that I've had a lot more experiences with people and being in situations that force me to interact with people it's caused me to become a lot less socially awkward and introverted. I can also connect to Alaska in some ways because I admit, I have times where I dont fully think through my decisions and end up regretting them later or i choose to disgregard certain things that i shouldn't. But I've definately been able to realize this for myself and work on it. I would reccomend this book to anyone, boys and girls, in high school because there are many aspects of the book that both boys and girls can relate to. It's also told from a guy's perspective. It is definately one of the best books I've read in a long time and highly reccomend it to those looking for a good book to read(:
