First drink. First prank. First friend. First love.

Last words.
 
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words—and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet François Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young, who will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.

Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A modern classic, this stunning debut marked #1 bestselling author John Green’s arrival as a groundbreaking new voice in contemporary fiction.

Calificaciones y opiniones

es uno de los mejores libros que he leído,aunque las personas tienen opiniones diferentes y lo fechan como un libro pornográfico pero lo que realmente JOHN GREEN quiso declarar en el libro es que los adolescentes se adelantan a muchas situaciones que no van codea a nuestra edad.

El que le de menos de 5 estrellas a este libro voy a su casa y lo mato. Es perfeccion. Amo al coronel. Amo la amistad entre los 3. Amo a Alaska. Amo que Alaska hatya tenido una vida tan dificil y sin embargo siga luchando. LA AMO. Y como en #TFIOS llore y mucho. Pero es real. John Green no hace que el mundo sea una fabrica de conceder deseos. Por eso amo sus libros. Por eso amo este. Por eso y mucho mas lo tienen que leer.

La historia es genial, me atrapó en los primeros capítulos, se me hizo un poco aburrido, pero después se puso mejor, lo que no me gusto es que habla de temas sexuales un poco fuerte, (no lo recomiendo para menores de 14)
