Looking for Alaska by John Green

I loved Looking for Alaska. It was a great book, and surprisingly, it was from a boy's perspective. This is similar to The Perks of being a Wallflower. Both books are written from a boys perspective, which is very different from the type of books I usually read. Also, this book came highly recommended to me by many people, and it lived up to its name. The main reason why I liked the book was that the characters were very life-like and developed. In many of the realistic fiction books I read, the characters aren't very realistic, and it is difficult to connect with them. This book was easier for me to read and more enjoyable for me to read because I could relate with the characters so well. Also, the characters were in high school, another thing I could relate to. The other great thing about this book is that because the main character is a guy, this book would appeal to both genders. I would reccommend this book to anyone who likes to read realistic fiction. Overall, it was a great book!
