Title: "Miles, as in 'to go before I sleep?"
Review: I adored John Green's Looking for Alaska. I read this for a YA book group and couldn't tear myself away from the story of Miles Hunter and his entry into boarding school. I fell in love with the all the characters through Miles' narration, and longed for my own time at boarding school. Colonel cracked me up. Alaska broke my heart and I fell for her as easily as Miles did.Some members of my reading group found Looking for Alaska predictable, but I didn't see the plot taking the swerve it did. I wouldn't recommend this read for anyone under 14. The kids of Culver Creek drink, smoke, swear, and have sex; so if you want to shield yourself or your child from these topics in YA lit steer away. But for those of you looking for a smart, funny, heart-wrenching book you've come to the right place.
