Looking for Alaska: Book Review

So hey guys, it's Breigh, and today I will be doing a book review on Looking For Alaska (LFA)!
(The numbers after each statement correlate to a number below which gives more info on what I thing about that)

*SPOILERS BELOW*

Some deep thoughts on LFA,
- this book has made me think more than any other on life, death, religion, and honestly, just what happens after. {1}
- Alaska's death was honestly the meat of the story {2}
- Pudge has one of the best character development stories in throughout the entire book {3}


{1} Life is short. I feel like i always knew that but after reading this it was deeply enforced, Alaska Young taught me that on a stronger level. Another thing, death is fast. Too fast. One moment you are here, the next you are not. Oh, and religion, everyone has the option to choose a way to live their life, and religion is a set of rules on how to do it in an way that a stronger person did. After? Now that's all about what you think, and for Alaska, that meant going wherever you would be heading with no regrets.


{2} Ok. Face it. This book would mean nothing without her death. It was all centered around the before; all of the good times they had, and that built up her character so that the after would be more effective,and the after; why she died, how she died, when she died, and the impact she left. Her death was essential toward the book moving forward.


{3} Pudge at the start seemed kinda scrawny and scared and naive and at the end was much stronger mentally yet weaker in a sense. His overall change was actually quite remarkable compared to the others, although I believe that the Colonel was most hurt by her death.

That's my review! thanks for reading:)
