Book Summary:

Looking for Alaska is the debut novel by John Green, published in 2005. The story follows Miles "Pudge" Halter, a teenager obsessed with the last words of famous people, who leaves his mundane life in Florida to attend Culver Creek Preparatory School in Alabama. There, he befriends his roommate Chip "The Colonel" Martin and becomes captivated by the enigmatic Alaska Young. Alaska is intelligent, beautiful, and emotionally complex, and she introduces Pudge to a world of pranks, philosophical debates, and deep emotional connections. The novel is divided into two parts: "before" and "after," with the pivotal event being Alaska's tragic death. In the aftermath, Pudge and his friends grapple with grief, guilt, and the search for meaning in their lives. Themes of loss, identity, and the quest for understanding are central to the narrative.
