10 BEST QUOTES FROM LOOKING FOR ALASKA BY JOHN GREEN | BOOK REVIEW

QUOTES

• Chip did not believe in having a sock drawer or a T-shirt drawer. He believed that all drawers were created equal and filled each with whatever fit. My mother would have died.

• Her library filled her bookshelves and then overflowed into waist-high stacks of books everywhere, piled haphazardly against the walls. If just one of them moved, I thought, the domino effect could engulf the three of us in an asphyxiating mass of literature.

• I wondered: If someone punches me in the face, I’m supposed to insist that I ran into a door? It seemed a little stupid

• The phrase booze and mischief left me worrying I’d stumbled into what my mother referred to as “the wrong crowd,” but for the wrong crowd, they both seemed awfully smart.

• “When you’re walking at night, do you ever get creeped out and even though it’s silly and embarrassing you just want to run home?”

• And what is an “instant” death anyway? How long is an instant? Is it one second? Ten?

• What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous

• I didn’t know what to say to her—I was caught in a love triangle with one dead side.

• Y’all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die.

• I’ve always liked quiet people: You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.

REVIEW (Trying my best to give no spoilers)

That last quote is my favourite. And also the reason why I decided to read this book. I liked it.

And what is wrong with John Green? Why does someone have to die in every novel? Why? I mean someone died in 3 out of the 4 novels I read, written by him. Which are The Fault in our Stars, Looking For Alaska, and Turtles All the Way Down. I think death is the recipe for a good novel.

I mean why did that person who died, die? Pudge was happy. I was so happy for Pudge. That person died anyway. It's sad. I cried. But anyway they are not real.

And one of my favourite lines was when he said "Zero layers between us". I was like YES!YES! Finally, it happened. I really liked Alaska. Cause she liked books.

Overall, if you want to cry a little bit you can read this book. This book was more depressing than reading 13 Reasons Why. I don't know how but it was. I rate it like a 3.9ish out of 5.

Comment to tell me about the part you loved in this book.

And it has been almost a year since I have started writing on this blog. So thank you to anyone who read it. And since it has almost been a year, the only person who reads my blog must have had a birthday so Happy Birthday!

Thats all for now. Ciao;)
