Looking for Alska

Okay, because I re-read this book, I feel the need to re-write my thoughts about it. I don’t know what’s better, reading a book for the first time or reading it for the 2nd time. Reading it for the first time makes it a whole new adventure and the feeling of thrill and excitement is there and I believe that reading this book without knowing what to expect is so much better because you feel all these sudden emotions. Shock, grief, anger, confusion all together and it can be overwhelming but it feels great to read something like that. Something that surprises you, unpredictable, like life. And reading it for the second time makes you pay more attention to things that you didn’t notice before. Just like observing Alaska’s behavior “before”. It’s like you’re making your own investigation. I’ve had all these feelings that I can’t seem to verbalize and this book just lays it all down. (John Green is my hero.) The deep thoughts are like a wake up call. Like, everything affects everything. Okay, I stole that from another book (13 reasons why). But my point is that, IT.WILL.MAKE.YOU.SEE.

death, life, the labyrinth, your beliefs,The Great Perhaps and things in between.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

wow. I don't know how to start but wow. this book is just AMAZING! AMAZING for me. It made me sob like a little girl. I keep on explaining to my cousins how good this book is and i start blabbering about the universe and how lucky we are and how oblivion really is a scary thing and they just looked at me with blank expressions. And when I told them about Hazel and Gus having cancer they're like "Oh like Nicholas Sparks' novels" And I wanted to explode, because it's not like those (I mean, I don't hate novels by Nicholas Sparks. I think they're great.) But this is so much more than a love story. I think that this is the only book that actually gets me. It's the only thing that gets me. If that's even possible and I know that that sounds weird but it's the only way that i can describe it. I can relate to it so much even though I'm not suffering through cancer. John Green is a genius. And i hate people who read it and are like "it's not that great". I know, respect each others opinion. but I really can't imagine why a person would dislike this book.
