I did. ^_^ I actually really liked it more than some of his other books. c: I would definitely nominate it for the next poll. ^^


It's the first John Green book I've read and I really like it so far. I'm a little more then half way through. The book tore my freaking heart out.


It is very well written. <3 He develops his character so thoughtfully and just omg I love him.

Looking for Alaska--the first book I own and read by him c:

      lfa/john green/tfios ;; john green writes beautifully. he is also a brilliant man, besides his writing. looking for alaska was the first book i read, by him, and i was awed by it. the fault in our stars [the latest book i've read by him - i've read all of his work, except or let it snow] was even more awing and i cried for so long after it. augustus is also the perfect man.

Looking for Alaska was the first book I read. I was sad, but i didn't full on cry like I did in The Fault In Our Stars. That book made me start crying as soon as the part where there was a funeral held for Gus, with him in attendance.
Augustus was a wonderful character and I wish there were people like him so I can have an Augustus for myself ;-; cute pairing

    i never actually finished looking for alaska >o>
    my friend got it from the library to read during tutor a while ago, but she doesn't read so she lent it to me instead, but took it back before i could finish, and then i totally forgot about it.
    from what i can remember i found it pretty sad, but i also thought it dragged a bit? i'm not really sure, maybe it's because i was rushing it, and it was the first book in a while i'd read that wasn't action!action!action!

    i do love john green though. he's such a huge inspiration, just like jk rowling. :>

      if you get the chance to you should definitely read john green. he's someone i recommend to everyone, even non-readers. [guys remember to leave out spoilers or just tag them as that! looking at you pie cx]

      hmm...i don't know whether i should take down the poll or not. there's a clear winner, i think, but others may join before the twenty-fifth and then be unable to vote. what do you all think?

    iri - i'd leave it up - for at least a day or so more - because people are still voting, so i think there could still potentially be a different outcome if it's left.
    and, like you say, more people might join and want to have a part in the decision. :>
