“What sets this novel apart is the brilliant, insightful, suffering but enduring voice of Miles Halter.” —Chicago Tribune
 
Looking For Alaska is a showcase to the raw talent John Green has, the kind of talent that can make you close the crisp last page of a novel and come out as a different person.... 

A gem of modern literature." —Guardian

"This book is pretty awesome, I originally read it in junior high and am an adult now, it’s still as good as when I first read it. A little sad though."

"an amazing coming of age book and the ending made me cry"

Gurnaaz (3/5)

amazing book worth reading

"This is an outstanding coming-of-age novel that doesn't resort to a “happily ever after” ending, but the characters each seek closure on their own terms. The characters are well drawn, witty, and full of individual quirks."

Zoey (4/5)
