Looking For Alaska

I've been reading Looking For Alaska by John Green, and so far, I really like it! I love Green's writing so I thought I would give this book a shot and I really like how he introduces his characters. The main character, Miles, is introduced in an unusual way as it starts off with talking about his unusual talent of memorizing peoples' last words and how he was an unpopular guy during high school. I also really like how Green focuses in the small things and makes them big such as the theme of Miles' "Great Perhaps" which is the whole reason he wants to go off to boarding school, to find something bigger and better. When Alaska and Chip were introduced Green dove right into them and how Alaska wasn't your typical high school girl.

I can't wait to keep reading farther but at the moment, it seems like the reader can do some foreshadowing that Miles starts to really like Alaska, but will be in a sticky situation since she already has a boyfriend. Green highlights Miles' unusual experience at his new boarding school and I am eager to see how he describes Miles' hunt for Alaska and how he will win her over in the end.

This quote just really stuck out to me and I enjoy how it's a reoccurring theme so far
