I thought Looking For Alaska was a great book. At first I didn't like the tradgic twist in the story and plot. I never thought Pudge was going to seek the Great Perhaps through the death of Alaska. I'm glad he found out what Alaska was doing on the night of her death. I thought it was very shocking, but believable that Alaska went crazy because she forgot to visit her mothers grave on the anniversary of her death. That was a typical Alaska freak out. It was like she was bipolar. She had many violent mood swings where she would break out crying and screaming. As usual Alaska wasn't smart about how she responded to her memory. I think she should have realized it wasn't the end of the world when she fogot to goto her mother's grave. I also thought she should have realized she shouldn't drink and drive no matter the situation. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed seeing the dramatic change in personality Pudge went through throughout the book. He really proved me wrong when it came to popularity and standing up. He seeked his Great Perhaps and is a whole new person because of it.
