Looking for Alaska?

This is the only book by John Green that I haven't read, or I guess, started. I've heard this book is almost or equivalent to The Fault in Our Stars, which is my favorite book. It's called Looking For Alaska. Now, whenever I see, like, summaries of this book's plot I don't really know what to think. It almost seems a little bit cliche, but I don't really know because it doesn't really give a lot of information. But from what I've heard, it's a great book and The Fault in Our Stars was beyond cliche and it was still the best book I've ever read, so maybe John Green knows what he's doing. I think I'm going to go buy it and start it over the weekend. I'm so done with The Abundance of Katherines. I hope this one's not as boring.




So I just looked up the plot summary for it on goodreads.com to refresh my memory and it still is a little fuzzy. But whatever, that's okay. It makes me want to read the book to see what's going to happen. It seems like John Green really likes making weird or interesting names go with the protagonists of his stories. Hazel and Augustus on The Fault in Our Stars, and now it's Alaska and Pudge. Weird. I don't know if I like that or not. Oh well. So, it seems like Alaska is a beautiful, crazy, interesting girl, that got messed up along the way. And now Pudge is supposed to be, and probably is, and average guy, with average looks, and average ways that Alaska is intrigued with because the author is making opposites atract. Cliche. But whatever, it seems interesting enough. And I feel like I might be able to relate a little bit. I'm looking forward to actually getting emotionally invested in a book for once in a long time.
