Book Description
Miles "Pudge" Halter is abandoning his safe-okay, boring-life. Fascinated by the last words of famous people, Pudge leaves for boarding school to seek what a dying Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps."
Pudge becomes encircled by friends whose lives are everything but safe and boring. Their nucleus is razor-sharp, sexy, and self-destructive Alaska, who has perfected the arts of pranking and evading school rules. Pudge falls impossibly in love. When tragedy strikes the close-knit group, it is only in coming face-to-face with death that Pudge discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally.
John Green's stunning debut marks the arrival of a stand-out new voice in young adult fiction.

Straight and fast.
A delightful and affecting novel, the life of two young boys upsets by a lonely, moody and self-destructive girl. A story of friendship and love, and the failure to see the shadows in the deep of the Alaska's hearth, the failure to stop her when she tries to get out of the labyrinth.
Amazing.

A harsh yet funny coming of age story.
Part coming-of-age buddy story, part study on the process of grief - a wholly wonderful and engaging book.
My favorite book. :)
