Looking for Alaska

It's 54 days till I die. And I know I've finished Looking for Alaska at least thrice now. It really is extremely depressing. Mainly, the book is told from Miles' point of view, or Pudge, as the Colonel calls him. The Colonel is his roommate in college. And on the first day of college, Pudge is introduced to Alaska.

And bam, it's love at first sight!

Pudge really gets along with Alaska, and he really likes her, both as a friend and as a girl. He never had any real friends before college. But unfortunately, Pudge finds out she has a boyfriend, of which she really really loves.

On one lonely night, Alaska introduces last-words-obssessed Pudge to Simon Bolivar's biography. His last words were: How will I ever get out of this labyrinth? And I really loved how the book played with the idea on whether the labyrinth was of death or life? The world or the end of it?

Finally, one day, after many adventures with the Colonel and Alaska, Pudge gets lucky. On that night, he finally got Alaska to bang him. But that's when it happens. She suddenly rushes off soon after that.

What happens after that, I really don't want to spoil it for you. It's a really beautiful book, much better than "The Fault in Our Stars" of which I personally hated by the way. I really loved the quotes in this one and all the secrets buried within.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
