“What sets this novel apart is the brilliant, insightful, suffering but enduring voice of Miles Halter.” —Chicago Tribune

“Looking For Alaska is a showcase to the raw talent John Green has, the kind of talent that can make you close the crisp last page of a novel and come out as a different person....

A gem of modern literature." —Guardian

★ “What sings and soars in this gorgeously told tale is Green’s mastery of language and the sweet, rough edges of Pudge’s voice.” —Kirkus

★ “Alive with sweet, self-deprecating humor.” —SLJ

“Funny, sad, inspiring, and always compelling.” —Bookpage

“The spirit of Holden Caulfield lives on.” —Kliatt

“Stunning conclusion . . . one worthy of a book this good.” —Philadelphia Inquirer

I liked it

I listened to this because it is our exchange student's favorite book. I wanted to have something to talk to her about when she first came to live with us. I can see the attraction for teens. Lots and lots of foul language. I despised that part of it, but it was a good story.

Looking

I thought Will Wheaton did an excellent job narrating this book! The story was very thought-provoking!

Wow! The Narrator! The Style of Writing! The Message!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing was at times humorous, at times thought- provoking…always a delight for the listener. I also enjoyed learning all the “famous last words”. And I can’t say enough about the narrator. He brought the character of “Pudge” to LIFE. I highly recommend!!

Beautiful Tragedy

I absolutely loved this. Looking for Alaska has such a powerful and meaningful message. You will definitely have tear soaked shirts by the end of this book.
