Looking for Alaska

Recently, I have just finished a great book called Looking for Alaska.  The book's main protagonist is Miles  Halter.  Miles lives in Florida and is about to start his junior year of high school at a boarding school, Culver Creek Preparatory School, in Alabama. Miles goes to Culver Creek because he wants to get away from his boring life and have an adventurous one.  At Culver Creek, Miles meets his roommate Chip "The Colonel" Martin.  The Colonel gives Miles a nickname, Pudge, which is ironic because Miles is very skinny. Later he meets Alaska Young, who is the Colonel's friend and located down the hall from their room.  Pudge develops a crush on Alaska.  The story is told through Pudge's perspective.  The book's plot is generally suspenseful, though parts can be a little slow.  Even though, the book is suspenseful it is not rushed and the book has time to develop characters and their back story.  Throughout the plot of the book the book's author, John Green, creates very relatable characters who are very developed.  The book has a few scenes that are explicit.  The books characters' voices seem very genuine and real.  The book is a good length, though I wish it was longer.  Also, I wish the book had multiple narrators; it is in first person.  Despite the book's few flaws is a great read that will make you laugh and cry.  I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a great book.
