Looking for Alaska
Recently I have begun reading Looking for Alaska. I chose to read this book because it is by John Greene, who wrote The Fault in Our Stars, which I really liked. I haven't gotten very far in the book; I've just read, so far, that the main character, Miles, otherwise known as "Pudge," goes off to a boarding school. He meets his roomate, Chip, Takumi, and finally Alaska, who is very clever, pretty and always making trouble. Pudge has a very rough start at the boarding school, because he was basically kidnapped, duct-taped and then thrown into a lake by some other students. This happened to him because of some conflict between the students and Pudge's room mate, Chip.
That's about all I've read so far but here's a link to a quick summary on Amazon:
I have never heard of this book before but it sounds pretty interesting. John Green is one of my favorite authors, so I will defiantly check this book out sometime. How did all the students get their nicknames? Is it because of how they act or something that they did to earn them?
