(Final Blog Entry) Looking for Alaska By: John Green

The best book I have read during this school year would definitely have to be Looking For Alaska by John Green.  John Green wrote a very powerful and inspiring novel.  Throughout the novel, John Green found ways to connect the book to you and touch your life.  John Green is one of my favorite authors by far and I really enjoy reading his books.
Looking for Alaska is about a boy, Miles, seeking for a Great Perhaps.  Miles is through living a life filled with boredom.  He decides to listen to the wise words of Francois Rabelais and look for a greater perhaps. Miles transfers to Culver Creek high school to being a new life. Throughout the book I felt a strong connection to Miles. This is because he didn't just sit around and let his life waste away.  He wanted to make something of his life, so he did.   I personally believe that we should enjoy our lives while we're young because we wont be young forever.  We have to make something of our lives now because before we know it, our chance will be gone.
 I believe that all teachers should have this book in their classrooms because this book could potentially inspire many and make a difference in their lives. John Green is an amazing writer and touches your life throughout the story.  His way of writing is easy to understand. However, there are parts in the novel which make you think and challenge you as a reader.  This book isn't very long so it isn't hard to read or finish. However, if you read at a good pace, you will feel and instant connection to the characters. I believe other readers will love this book because is displays a solid message and makes a great impact on your life.
