Looking For Alaska - After.


Upon completing the "after" portion of Looking for Alaska by John Green, I have to revert my previous statement.  John Green is a author with the potential to trump all other authors, however, he is also the King of tragedy, I won't post spoilers, but the fact of it is, Green is to sinking ships, what Game of Thrones is to killing off all the characters.
This title however, doesn't take away from the literary genius that is this man, he's brutally honest in every book breaking things down conflicts to it's simplest  form and then rebuilding them keeping an odd simplicity while carrying another deeper dimension.  His writing makes you both envious and enamored with him.
Typing this up in the first few minutes after completing the novel, I would give this a 9/10 with 10 being the best, for the simple originality that the young adult section severely lacks.  Furthermore I would highly recommend this to everyone and anyone, it's an easy enough read, and changes your perspective on the world.
