I adore this book. I've read it before and I feel as if I could read it a billion more times. Of course, I fucking love John Green. Being a huge vlogbrother fan, I love the Green brothers and think they're hilarious and amazing dudes..and John is an amazing writer. He has written two other books (Paper Towns & An Abundance of Katherines) and they're awesome too. But I think LFA is my favourite. I'm not really sure why, it just appeals to me the most. It's hilarious. Seriously, I was reading it one night and started busting out laughing and my roommate was like "wtf?!" and I was like "he fucking got beat by a one armed kid!! LOL!! LMFAO!!" to myself and he just kind of stared at me. It still makes me giggle thinking about it. But in order to understand, you must read it! You won't regret it.
To sum it up, it's about a boy named Miles who starts at a new school (Culver Creek Boarding School) to seek what he calls the "Great Perhaps" which is something I (along with many other people, I'm sure) seek. He arrives and makes friends with his roommate, the "Colonel", who introduces him to.....DUN DUN DUN.....Alaska. Alaska, the most gorgeous girl he's ever seen, with those brilliant green eyes on a face that's attached to a perfectly curved body. Let me somewhat define Alaska for you: Addicted to cigarettes and books, with a boyfriend she constantly talks about having sex with, while coming up with genius pranks to get back at the "Weekday Warriors" that would definitely upset the headmaster (aka "The Eagle") and most likely get them all expelled, while ALSO hiding bottles of Boone's Farm to uncover later. Okay, so you probably don't think too highly of Alaska by that description. But she's a character you can't hate. Miles gets sucked into Alaska's unleashed personality and so will you.
I'm not going to do quotes because there are WAY too many that I like. Just read it. Now.
Mucho Love-o,
Kristen
