Review by Mengmei C.
Who would like this book? I would say this book would be for anyone who’s into cliffhangers or more mature content. More girls would like this book probably because it’s more of a sad novel but males would also like this book as well. The age is more for teenagers and adults and probably not for younger kids because it has mature content.
The goods on this book: This novel is very well written. It was very mysterious. I think that every single character was amazing and matched the book perfectly. The setting is at a boarding school and they act like teenagers, drinking or smoking. Miles Halter (nicknamed, Pudge) goes off to a boarding school named Culver Creek, which is far from home. Miles is sharing a room with a guy whose nickname is The Colonel. Miles is known for remembering someone’s last words. He meets a beautiful girl named Alaska Young, who’s very loud and adventurous. She shows and tells him about the labyrinth. How can you escape it? What will happen when she brings him into her labyrinth? There’s a very terrible incident, and how will it change them all?
