Description
The novel is obviously Looking for Alaska by John Green and it's pretty much my favourite book of existence.The main quotes used:
"He was gone, and I did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and that she forgave us, and that we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we canβt know better until knowing better is useless. [And as I walked back to give Takumiβs note to the Colonel, I saw that I would never know.] I would never know her well enough to know her thoughts in those last minutes, would never know if she left us on purpose. But the not-knowing would not keep me from caring, and I would always love Alaska Young, my crooked neighbor, with all my crooked heart."
"Thomas Edison's last words were: "It's very beautiful over there." I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful."

Looking for Alaska is probably one of the greatest books ever written. I read it so many times that bits and pieces of it imprinted on my vocabulary. Alaska will always make me curious, the Colonel will always make me smile, and the Eagle will always deserve his punishments. This is a great piece, and probably one of the best Looking for Alaska pieces I've seen on this site.

I'm surprised my copy has lasted so long. It's without a cover now (has been for a while) but it hasn't started falling apart quite yet... It's nice to know that if I shouted "HOW WILL I EVER GET OUT OF THIS LABYRINTH OF SUFFERING???" in the middle of a crowded place, there would be people who would know what I meant.
