The only thing that really drew me to read this novel was the author, John Green. His name drew me to read this book because honestly he is the only author on that list that I have herd of before. Also none of the other books really seem to pop out at me they all seemed kinda boring. I saw a lot of connections between myself and this book, I mean its about a boy going through high school starting to talk to girls making friends and dealing with peer pressure while also trying to balance his classes. And that is exactly what I am doing in my day to day life so I see a lot of connections between this book and me. I would recommend this book to anyone in around my age because like I said it relates a lot to my age group of people. I don't think It would matter if it was a boy or girl reading it I think both genders will like it just as much even though the book is told through a boys perspective, But the overall message and meaning of the book should communicate to any gender. Some older people than myself might also like this book because they can relate from when they were in high school but it is a lot more relevant to people my age.

"One hundred thirty- six days before" that is how my book Looking for Alaska starts off. After that the author John Green goes on with the story as if he didn't just start of by saying that. By doing this he instantly hooked me and I am guessing that a lot of readers feel the same way. He never explains that number out front so it leaves the reader wondering as to what is going to happen when it reaches zero. Throughout the book at the beginning of each chapter he gives us a new number for example "Seventy- six days before" and with each new chapter the number gets smaller making the reader tingle with anticipation. Suddle hints are dropped throughout the book as to what happens when it reaches zero, making the reader want to keep reading. It does finally reach zero and you find out what happens when it does near the end of the book, and let me tell you it was not what I was expecting. I am not going to spoil what happens in this blog, because I hate when people spoil things for me so if you really want to know you will have to go and read Looking for Alaska.
