Review by Lauren T.
Who would like this book? Anyone who loves mystery and mischief would like this book. Maybe girls would like it more, but some guys would like it to. 14+
The goods on this book: This fantastic book by John Green has 221 pages and its genre is a mystery. Miles Halter (Pudge) is a nobody in his school in Florida, so he decides he wants to go to go to the private school his dad went to. His parents told him to get in the “good group” of people. His roommate chip (The Colonel) is the first person he talks to and he thinks he’s alright, and then The Colonel introduces him to a beautiful and exciting girl named Alaska. They go on adventures, prank people, and have fun. They all become friends over times with a bunch of ups and downs. Did he really want to be in her labyrinth? Or did she drag him in? In my opinion, the theme would be we will never truly understand everything that happens to us or the ones we love We have to accept everything that happens to us whether it is good or bad.
The details: 221 pages; 2005 Review by Lauren T.
