Looking for Alaska - John GreenI read this book right before Christmas, amidst all the gift wrapping and making and buying. It is the first book by Green I have read, and I have to say, I am in love. It was love at first sight, really. Every word, every sentence was perfect. I don't feel I can say anything about this book that hasn't been said a million times before. The only thing I will say is that everyone should read it, and immediately, if they haven't already.
It is tradition that Santa leaves me a Christmas romance in my stocking every year. And really, is there anything happier than a Christmas romance? This year I received His Mistress by Christmas, and the main character woman was pretty different than most of the books that I have read of this type. Outspoken, adventurous, risk taking, not afraid to go after what she wanted, Veronica was an interesting character. I liked the inclusion of the Adventure/Exploration Club, and this book was just fun and enjoyable.
I got the idea for little mini reviews from Jennifer at The Relentless Reader. Sometimes I just don't have much to say about a book I read, so this format is perfect.
I'm glad you loved Looking for Alaska. It's one of my very favorites and I agree that everyone should read it! :)
