This book is incredible. I've been reading it so quickly because I actually want to keep reading. It is very rare I find a book like this, but this is one of them. I think part of it is because on the folio of where I am reading it says "before", and later on in the book(I may have peaked a little bit) it says after. So I am very excited to get to the "after" section of the book. So far the book is a story about a boy named miles who gets transfered to a private preparatory school in Alabama. I love a quote he says before he goes, which is "I go to seek a Great Perhaps". This actually touched me in a way because when I leave for college, and leave my nest in general, I really am searching for a "Great Perhaps". I don't know what Im going for, and I don't know where I will find it or what it will be, but I hope it will be something great, perhaps. (Tried to be funny again, it never works)
At this new school he was made new friends, the Colonel, Alaska, Lara, and Takumi. They are all quite a bit more exciting that Miles(Pudge), smoking cigarettes and drinking on campus. They are giving him the greater perhaps that he always wanted—friends and excitement. However Pudge is in love with Alaska, but she has a boyfriend and therefore can't do anything about, but I can tell she loves him as well. Oh well, we will see with the next blog!
