Book Review: Looking For Alaska

It’s been a while since the last time I’ve updated my blog and there is nothing I could say to make me not look like a lazybum because actually, I am. Haha.

There’s just so many things that could’ve been included in my blog like my birthday, the amazing masskara festival, the departure of my love (huhuhu) and the like but..

Okay, so what I’ve been doing with my leisure time lately was reading books and believe me, it was sooo nice to be back in this hobby. When I was single, all I ever did was read books and now that my boyfriend’s away, I’m back in the biz! I really love being alone with my books. But of course I love going out with my friends too (hehehe). I miss my boyfriend a lot but reading makes me less depressed, hihihi.

I am always random when it comes to book preference. One day I like reading self-help book; the next day, novels; the next next day; classics; the next next next day, history books (haha) and etc etc. But I would always love self-help, history and classic books! Heee :")

 Just let me make a little review of the book that I’ve read recently. It feels like I was sort of late in reading this book since it prominence ended a few years ago but I would be regretting for the rest of my life if I hadn’t read this one.

Out of all John Green books that I’ve read, I could say that this is, by far, his masterpiece. His books are great but looking for Alaska is different. I only decided to read it because I had the time do so and I wanted to read a feel-good, easy to read book to escape stress. It was, undeniably, easy to read that you could really finish it in just one sitting. It was a feel-good book too that I laughed so hard on this one but never expected I would cry harder. Hahahaha. I’m such a marshmallow, I know. The plot twist was bewildering and the conclusion was simply stunning. A very compelling book indeed, I could not even get my nose out of it. Also, it was absolutely an insightful one, it teaches readers lessons and helps them find their great perhaps in the search for life’s meaning even in the midst of the labyrinth of suffering.

So for everyone out there, never fear! Take risk in the quest for a greater maybe.

Goooosh, I am really attached to this book, aren't I? Hahaha.

I’ve enjoyed every second that I am lost in the world of that book and I was kind of sorry for myself for letting dust get a hold of the book for almost a year before I could read it. Haha.

Here’s for Pudge, Takumi, Lara, the Colonel and for our upcoming journeys. May we all find our great perhaps.

Oh btw, another thing this book teaches us is never to get too moody and impulsive.. or else.. haha!

Alaska Young! <3 

(Now, what to read next?)
