What was your impression of the book? Excellent
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Yes
Favorite part: My favorite part is at the end of the book when Pudge and the Colonel drive through the part of the highway Alaska died on. They are almost expecting to die themselves, but once they get past it, they realize they are still alive, even if one of their best friends is dead, they were given the chance to keep living.
Favorite character: My favorite character was Alaska Young because she is such a mysterious and complex character. In the end, the mystery of her death is left partially solved, showing that no one could truly understand her or what goes through her mind.
Summary
Miles wants to find "the Great Perhaps"; so he leaves his home in Florida to attend a Preparatory School in Alabama. There he becomes acquainted with his roommate "the Colonel" and Alaska Young. He falls in love with Alaska Young although she is quite unstable. Together, they prank the Weekday Warriors (the rich kids). However, one day, Alaska freaks out and leaves school drunk without mentioning why. Miles and the Colonel find out she died in a car accident and they devote their time to finding out why she was in such a frenzy to leave and how she died.
Personal comment: This was definitely a memorable book that I really enjoyed reading.
