Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (François Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . . After. Nothing is ever the same.

An excellent debut novel from Green, for Adults and Young Adults alike........2007-10-11

"Grade 9 and up." "Young Adult." "Inspire young people." Those phrases all turned me off of this novel, which I had been interested in after becoming a fan of John Green's vlog on YouTube. After becoming so familiar with the author, I was curious as to his writing. However, I'm around 20 years late from being able to claim the title of a "young adult," so I assumed I was too old for this book. I don't really know what classifies as book as "young adult," and could only associate things like Judy Blume, which I read as a kid. But the recommendations from here, and the startling realization that I have already read and enjoyed other YA books (Harry Potter, The Golden Compass, etc) fortunately changed my mind. As it turns out, "Young Adult" literature is mainly characterized by having a young protagonist, fewer characters, and a limited time span. "Looking for Alaska" reads in every way like any other "adult" novel that I might enjoy. My fears that the book would be "dumbed down" for kids or have large text were unfounded.

"Looking for Alaska" revolves around the protagonist, Miles, and his social relationships with some new friends at boarding school, especially the self-destructive and beautiful Alaska Young. They share a common enjoyment of smoking, drinking, intelligence, and pranks. Saying much more would be revealing too much of the plot. I've seen the criticisms that this book is not suited for young adults due to the themes of drinking and sex. While I understand some parents' concerns, I found nothing in this book that any 10 year old does not already know, or sees on TV and in music every day. The language is very limited and fairly mild. 9 years old may be a little young for the subject matter in this book but 11 and up should have no problems.

I initially checked this book out of the library. After finishing, I purchased it on Amazon, which is the first time I've ever bought a book I've already read. I was so impressed with Green's writing that I wanted to own the book so I could let friends borrow it and keep it in my library. With the exception of one or two others, I've never felt such an emotional connection with the characters of a book before. I found myself very involved with their lives in the story, which is a testament to the extraordinary character development that takes place in as little as 100 pages. This novel mainly centers around that character development, however there is enough "action" to keep the plot moving along and the story from getting boring.

While it's not the most entertaining, out of the thousands of novels I've read in my life, John Green's "Looking for Alaska" definitely falls somewhere in the top 10 of the best written. It has already been recognized as such by the Young Adult Library Services Association, having received the Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in young adult literature (Green's follow up novel An Abundance of Katherines, was a runner-up the following year and received a Printz honor). I would definitely recommend this book to any age group, but especially anyone who is interested in writing and wants to see an example of great literature.

mediocre ...at best.......2007-10-02

This book is not very good. Every word seems calculated and is technically "right" but I found myself not caring about these characters.
There is a distinct lack of depth to these characters and we never get to see below the surface. Reading this book is like watching a talented boxer dance beautifully around the ring, but never throw a punch. Something seems to be missing. It moves along in an obvious way, sort of like a new TV show, and its structure is representative of what passes for art in the 21st century, but it left me cold. I want so much more than a tepid, quirky, cleverly concocted story like this. It seems to have been written with a particular audience and a particular batch of critics in mind. The overall tone of the book is very smug, while pretending not to be. I think Green has some talent, but I think he should stop writing what everybody wants him to write.

A new take on famous last words and lessons.......2007-10-01

I liked Looking for Alaska. John Green writes with humor, wit, compassion, and refreshing insight. Told in first-person narrative from Miles ("Pudge") Halter's perspective, the story follows Halter as he enters a southern boarding school in his junior year - tired of his rather lame, somewhat friendless existence back home. Eager for new adventures, he is quickly drawn into the lives of his roommate (Chip "The Colonel" Martin) and the rest of the gang (Takumi, Lara, and the ever-elusive Alaska Young) and their on-going prank war with the rich "Weekend Warriors."

Amidst attending classes, studying for finals, writing papers, planning pranks, and meeting at the smoking hole, Miles and his friends traverse the rocky territory of friendship, trust, peer pressure, sex, relationships, drunken debauchery, and questions of faith, suffering, hope, meaning, and what exists on the other side - eventually having to confront these questions in a far more intimate, direct, and personal manner than they probably ever imagined.

The friendships and interactions are believable, and many of the characters relatable. We probably all knew, or know, someone who reminds us of these individuals. The lessons, while focused on high schoolers in this book, are certainly timeless, and Green does an impressive job of creating and expressing a whirlwind of emotions throughout the book, and particularly in the wake of a shattering loss.

My reservation is the narrow characterization of the females here. There are really only two main female roles in the story (with the exception of a couple cameos by Miles' mother), and each girl is a rather extreme caricature. Lara is the cutesy foreign girl from Romania who is sweet, bubbly, and willing to "run the bases," as it were, rather quickly. And Alaska is the melo-dramatic, angst-ridden, cryptic, self-absorbed, skeletons-in-closet, moody infatuation down the hall. I get that Miles is a bit of an introvert and may not necessarily have the largest social circle, but I was surprised at the lack of female characters and wish that there had been at least one that was as equally interesting but a bit more grounded.

Nonetheless, the story is well written, and it shines. I did not find it to be stale at all. There are dangers to complacency and flippant behavior, especially at an age when consequences are the last things on one's mind, and Green does a great job of telling that tale in a relatable, memorable way with characters who go through heart-wrenching discoveries. Much of the dialogue is spot-on, witty repartee is grin-inducing, self-reflection is poetic, and the topics and questions raised are moving and thought-provoking. Well worth a read.

Just Another "Moral" Book.......2007-09-16

(This is Pat O'Donnell's daughter, not Pat O'Donnell.)
Drinking, drugs, sex, juvenile delinquency, drunk driving...these are all things you can find addressed in any public service announcement, health class, and many other sources. So why write a novel about them? Maybe the author of Looking for Alaska, John Green, felt a personal connection with these problems, a strong desire to show teens the dangers of what is now thought of as normal teenage behavior. Or maybe he thought that all of the public service announcements and health classes didn't address these "problems" well enough. John Green uses a classic example from what he considers to be an average teen's life to warn kids of the dangers of driving under the influence and general teenage delinquency. In this, the author has succeeded, as well as any health class or general warning label on a six-pack of beer does. Why not read one of those?
The answer is that John Green tries to relate this problem more closely to an average teen reading this book. Looking for Alaska tells the story of a boy, "Pudge," who transfers to a new school to get away from his boring life. While he's there, he meets lots of new and interesting friends, including the charismatic and self-destructive Alaska. "Normal" teenage delinquency ensues, climaxing in Alaska crashing her car while under the influence and dying. Now Pudge and his friends need to find the answers to some unsolved questions Alaska left behind. In order to make this story, John Green, develops strong, familiar characters, with interesting quirks. "Pudge," for example, is the familiar stock character of the awkward new kid, unsure and clumsy. John Green makes Pudge stand out from the other characters in other books of this type (there are so many) by giving him personality quirks--such as the fact that he memorizes famous people's last words. This makes him memorable, yet still easy to relate to for an average teenager.
The author's intentions in writing this book are understandable--he wishes to make teens aware of the problem that is teenage delinquency and the disasters it can cause. However, this has been done so many more times, in so many other ways, that this book is all but obsolete.

"Looking for Alaska" is perhaps the greatest teen book........2007-09-16

In the novel Looking for Alaska written by John Green, readers can connect to the humanity and emotions of the characters as they undergo changes, feel the death of one of their friends, and attempt to finish school during the time after she died. Green conveys emotions in the novel more clearly than many writers do today. Emotion helps to make the characters seem human, and changes them from words on paper into aspects of everyday life. It seems that Green reaches a hand out, no matter the time, and creates situations very similar to modern day high school. He (Green) gives a new meaning to "Sex, drugs, and rock and roll," with the LFA cast. Green uses The Colonel (A character) to plan a memorial prank late in the book, using a male stripper to "educate (the school) in adolescent sexuality." Overall, the writing in the novel can be confusing for someone who has not experienced loss on such a level; it does bring a fresh perspective to the old story of "Boy meets girl, boy looses girl." As John Green's first novel, Looking for Alaska is surprisingly well-written and has the feel of an author who has written many more books.

In 1999, Peter Jenkins and his family left their farm in Tennessee to live in Alaska for a few seasons, eventually renting a house in Seward, Alaska (pop. 2,830) on the Kenai Peninsula. The principal aim of the trip was for Jenkins to write a travelogue, but he also saw it as an opportunity to end a period of personal stagnation. It appears to have worked, for Looking for Alaska is filled with a vibrancy that can only come from one with a fully charged battery. Recognizing that "This giant place is filled with people determined to live as free as possible of others' intervention," he employed the same low-key approach to research that made his bestselling book A Walk Across America (1979) so engaging--he made friends wherever he went and allowed people to share their stories in their own way and in their own time. Part of Jenkins's charm is that he never pretends that he's figured the place out; he readily cops to his outsider status and invites readers to experience his sense of awe and surprise with him. During his 18-month stay in the Last Frontier, Jenkins spent time with wildlife rangers, recreation guides, native whalers, fishermen, and dogsled mushers, all of whom showed Jenkins and his family glimpses of their own private Alaska. (They also shared their bear stories; it seems nearly everyone in the state has had at least one run-in with the giant predator). "No one is ever the same after coming back from Alaska," he writes and after reading his book, it's easy to believe him. --Shawn Carkonen

Book Description

Twenty-two years ago, a disillusioned 24-year-old went looking for himself and his nation. His memoir of what he found, A Walk Across America, captured the hearts of all Americans, sold over 1.8 million copies, and is still in print today. Now, Peter Jenkins is a bit older, married and a father of six, and his journeys are much different. Perhaps he is looking for adventure, perhaps inspiration, perhaps new communities, perhaps unspoiled land. Certainly, he found all of this and more in Alaska. Looking for Alaska is Jenkinss account of a year-long odyssey in the cities, towns, islands, and villages of Americas last wilderness. Visiting isolated spots that few non-native people have seen, his view of Alaska is a rare and more complete one than ever before. He also took his family with him, and the way they made Alaska their home is as much a part of this story as Jenkinss travels. Getting to know a place as only he can, Jenkins provides an unforgettable portrait of a dangerous and beautiful land and the people that call it home.From a fishing expedition with some of Alaskas Native leaders to an ocean-kayaking trip in the glacier-ridden Gulf of Alaska, Jenkins delivers a memorable diary of discoveryboth of this place that captures all of our imaginations, and of himself, all over again.

Read the book - take the trip.......2007-08-07

We've been to Alaska twice and are planning our third trip soon. This is an extraordinarily capturing and surprising place. Our trips there avoid the touristy cruise ship or resort hotel thus allowing us to stay in towns much like Jenkins did during his 18 months there. This style allows you to be with and enjoy Alaskan residents.

What Jenkins did was is to involve himself far more deeply than our experiences and that made this book remarkable for us. I liked his writing style as it made for a comfortable read. Yes, there are errors, but they are few. What's memorable is that each of his chapters highlights some adventure or someone's personality. It's been some time since I finished it and yet I still think back on this work and recall much of it. Peter Jenkins left a series of images in my head that are going to be there for a long while. My only regret was that we missed Hobo Jim. An interesting guy (check out his web site). He will be on our agenda next trip.

I'm on the Amazon site as I am ordering some copies for friends. Looking for Alaska is a terrific book and a must read for any of you with a sense of wonder for the wilderness. It is easy to not only tout Jenkins's book but Alaska as well. Destination and book are tops.

Alaska speaks for itself.......2007-07-08

I read this book before a trip to Alaska, and admittedly, ours was only a small boat cruise in the inside passage, so I knew I would experience only a part of Alaska from a tourist's vantage point. I wanted a bigger view of this remarkable state and hoped Jenkins would deliver that in this account of his family's 18-month residence in the state. It did - most of the time. I felt Jenkins took me to places I would never be able to go and gave me a true sense of the state. His was a journey based on the day-to-day interactions, discoveries, struggles and surprises of one who intends to know a place and its people more deeply. Jenkins creates a vision of the landscape and the people, and in its richest moments, this book is almost as good as the real thing.

But - it is too long (editing would have cured this), and poorly written (editing would have cured this as well). More than once, I puzzled over sentences that I wanted to correct. When speaking of the caretaker near a family living in the bush, we read this about the neighbor's disposition: "If the current one, Dave, was a bit grumpy one day, he'd try to tell Mike and Pete how to snow-machine the winter trail, except he'd never done it." Or this for example: " In the early morning, the kids' chores began. Eric wanted Mike and Pete to go across the lake about two miles. I went along to help; we were going to retrieve some doghouses to keep the team in."

I am quite willing to labor over a complex but beautiful sentence to get at the essence, but his is just plain bad writing. Too many examples like this slow the pace and distract the reader. At 434 pages, strenuous editing could have achieved more with less.

That aside, when Jenkins lets the landscape and the people speak for themselves, the reader gets a sense of the real Alaska. On the whole, I enjoyed it and felt it prepared me for the little bit of Alaska I was about to see. Just allow yourself enough time to wade through the verbal bush.

Surf Review And Report Rating: Greatest Contemporary Alaska Adventure.......2006-11-03

I have thus far reviewed more than 100 books. Of the 112, this is only the third audible book review I have thus far posted. That should tell you this book is special - it joins my review of Stephen King's On Writing and T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom as the best in its class. At surfreviewandreport dot com I will name this book as the 2006 Audio Book Extraordinaire - Bill Anderson.

Initially I found the monotone a bit of an annoyance. I wondered, "Why didn't he inject some emotion?"

Later I figured out why. Peter Jenkins correctly chose to have his words, not his voice, emphasize the the beauty and freedom that once predominated America and now exists only in Alaska.

I found his inclusion of brief statements by those whom he visited and of the honey-rocket to add unimaginable value! A literal stroke of genius!

Hobo Jim - I have been fortunate to listen to some of his music before. He reminds me of a cross between Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen and John Denver, seasoned with a dash of Arlo Guthrie and and of Phil Ochs. Aside from those guys and Sam Hinton, no other musician I have ever heard has made me so proud to be American nor more frustrated at how often each of us falls short of our potential to improve our world. Oh, but I digress. The little bit of Hobo Jim's live voisterous audience yodeling was far too short.

I do have two serious complaints: This book is far too short. I could listen to six months of this adventure. Also, it needs more interviews and sounds of Alaska.

Yes, the included audios of people and nature made this book my absolute all-time favorite audiobook. This book also is in my Top-10 list for books on Alaska and also for Adventures In The Far North, and it probably will be in my Top-10 Adventure Books list.

I found myself swelling with pride to hear that people in Alaska live a lifestyle intent on the old values of people and nature without the trappings of prejudice and demands for conforming to other's expectations that permeated America during the 50s, 60s and 70s, yet that also does not vilify or censor those who are not politically correct.

In other words, it seems Alaska is what America could have been if only we'd possessed the need for a honey-rocket and a rebellious Che-inspired balladeer who yodels and sings songs of heroism about guys named Redington.

Confused? Get download the audiobook and get listening!

One Of The Best Yet About Alaska.......2006-01-27

The most remarkable thing about Peter Jenkins is how he got so many "real" Alaskans, often a highly reclusive lot, to open up to him and tell their life stories. Granted, his residual fame as the author of "Walking Across America" opened a number of doors for him, but very few people could, for example, trustingly follow a bush veterinarian and his family to the shores of frozen Chandalar Lake, fit in with them so well and paint such a vivid, affecting portrait of their lives. Mr. Jenkins is not only a good storyteller, but he also is a quite extraordinary collector of stories, due to this sense of trust that he seems to engender with his subjects.
In a genre rife with either "carpetbagger" authors who don't really get Alaska, or with indigenous writers lacking top-notch skills, Mr. Jenkins finds an effective middle ground. He did actually reside in Alaska for a time, and tried to live as the locals did, so he at the very least scratched the surface of what the place is all about. And, while he made a few silly factual mistakes, and his prose is not the most sparkling I've ever seen (I actually think that his daughter Rebeccah is the more lively and interesting writer), he is nonetheless effective in communicating the stories of those Alaskans whom he genuinely admires. Another five years or so up North, and I think he'd have truly gotten it right.

Gave me more of a feel for Alaska than any book I've read!.......2005-11-17

I am drawn to books about Alaska for some reason---maybe it's the dream of living in real solitude off the land---something I will never really do, but love to think about. This book gave me more of a true feel for Alaska than any I've read.

I've read a lot of Jenkins' other books, and like them, this took a little while to get into. He has a different writing style---he sort of throws you into things without always explaining things fully. But once you are in there, you are really in there! I love how he seems to be interested in everyone---not just his family or people of importance, but the children of other families, his childrens' friends, shopkeepers---it's a nice way to be and interesting to hear so many stories.

My favorite part of the book was the tale of their trip to visit a vet and his family who lived deep, deep in the wilderness. He himself had doubts about what it would be like to travel there in winter, and why anyone was living there, and what the family would be like. The trip to get there was so compelling I actually woke up in the night needing to read a little more about it! I loved hearing the everyday details of life that far from everyone else---what they ate, what they did for fun, how they heated, etc.

It was great to hear about so many different parts of Alaska. I kept consulting the map over and over to see where Jenkins was now. I hope he keeps writing and explores new places soon!

Book Description

To human eyes, the remote Aleutian Islands of Alaska look barren and rocky. The waters seem frigid, the high, sweeping winds intolerable, and the seas rolling. Yet to seabirds of the northern hemisphere, these waters are idyllic, a mosaic of habitats teeming with underwater food and alive with currents of wind for soaring. Join Sophie Webb on a voyage in search of seabirds. Just as she did with her award-winning My Season with Penguins, she once again inspires our curiosity. As she watches for, writes about, and paints the graceful mottled petrel, the huge black-footed albatross, or the clownish tufted puffin, she makes tangible the delicacy yet hardiness of these seabirdscreatures that have been on the earth much longer than humans yet remain vulnerable to disturbances in the health of the ocean.

Great book for kids who dream of being Field Scientists.......2006-06-23

This is a fantastic book for showing grade schoolers what life as a biological field scientist would be like. Webb's journal format really brings the trip to life in a personal way. If you are a birdwatcher, you will enjoy this book as a well written trip report with great information on sea bird ecology and behaviour.

The information is great, but the illustrations are even better. The book is filled with sea bird paintings from the author that help her share the amazing spectacles she has seen while in the field.

Great book, quick read, beautiful illustrations.

Wonderful Book!.......2005-01-03

Quite simply a joy to read. The paintings are wonderful and truly depict the variety of marine life that Ms Webb writes about.
A book for all ages!

This is an amazing book on public health of Native Americans.......1997-11-20

This is an amazing book on public health of Native Americans which nobody else but a Native American could have written. It introduces the reader to the complexity of health, environment, spirituality and survival of one of the most disadvanted people living on Mother Earth. Breast cancer among women, we assume, is a lifestyle disease among affluent westernized women. Lori Colomeda tells a different, a frightening story from the Arctic Circle. Remember? Fresh, clean air, fresh water, fresh seafood? Forget about it. Colomeda leads you into an area of human and medical ecology you wouldn't have thought it existed. The Circumpolar regions are currently the regions of the world with one of the highest prevalences of cancer, and of breast cancer among women in particular. Why? Well, one of the causes is the fallout of pollution hitting these areas via climate and atmospheric streams. We may not inhale the pollutants in New York City or London, because they travel up North. "Through the Northern Looking Glass" leaves us pretty ugly people destroying the fundaments of our life and most of all: Mother Earth. This is an excellent study on environment, public health and culture. If you only want to read one book shaking up your westernized mind as regards public health, why don't you try Lori Colomeda. This is strong medicine.
