I finally had time to read a book that was not for class

I just read John Green’s Looking for Alaska, and it is excellent. It won the Printz award so I should have expected it to be great. The story follows Miles Halter, a high school junior, who loves last words. He decides to go to boarding school outside of Birmingham, Alabama to search for the “Great Perhaps.” I don’t want to spoil the story, but I should warn you that you will cry. However, I can’t recommend this novel enough.
