Summer Post 4

I picked Looking for Alaska by John Green out of all the books on our summer reading list because I watched John Green history videos in history class last year and he seemed like a very creative guy, so when I saw his name on one of the books, I looked into it and saw he was the one who wrote The Fault in Our Stars, which has awesome reviews. So I figured I would give it  a try and see if I liked it. I did, it was one of my favorite books I have ever read actually. His writing makes it seem like you can visualize the whole school and characters and what they do, I thought that was really cool. I would recommend this book to just about everyone because it was that good. I think anyone who does not absolutely hate reading would enjoy this book because before I read this book, I hated reading, but this book got me really interested in finding good books to read! So if you are looking for a good book to read and haven't read Looking for Alaska by John Green, I strongly recommend this book for you!

The section of Looking for Alaska that really got me interested in it and wanting to finish the book was page 125 to page 133. In this section the author, John Green does an awesome job with getting you really curious about what is going on and how it will turn out. An example of this is, on page 130, they decide to play truth or dare and Alaska asks Pudge, "Truth or Dare, Pudge?' 'Dare' Alaska says, 'hook up with me'" They hook up and they seem to have a good night but then on page 132 later in that night Alaska gets a phone call, they don't know from who but she gets incredibly upset. Alaska wakes them up an says," I forgot! God, how many times can I f*** up? She screamed, I JUST HAVE TO GO. HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE!"' They did help her get out of the school but it got me really thinking about what she was upset about and I wanted to find out. That is the part of the book that best got me hooked.
