"Looking For Alaska is a showcase to the raw talent John Green has, the kind of talent that can make you close the crisp last page of a novel and come out as a different person.... A gem of modern literature. --Guardian ★ "What sings and soars in this gorgeously told tale is Green's mastery of language and the sweet, rough edges of Pudge's voice." --Kirkus ★ "Alive with sweet, self-deprecating humor." --SLJ "Funny, sad, inspiring, and always compelling." --Bookpage "The spirit of Holden Caulfield lives on." --Kliatt "Stunning conclusion . . . one worthy of a book this good." --Philadelphia Inquirer
