There are books that are considered classic and need to be read by everyone or books that are temporary, people read them today and forget about them tomorrow or books that are quite new to be considered classics and too good not to be remembered tomorrow. 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green is a book that people read today, young readers love it, quote it. Apparently it spoke to their hearts. Can't say anything about tomorrow, you never know. The book is about a boy, which doesn't have any friends changing his school to a private one and gets new friends there. Simple and cliche storyline you say, like any other teenage movie. But the thing about this book is, it talks about important things from the prespective of a teenager, that is making his first steps in this world with its ups and downs, gets to know the good and the bad. How a teenager interprets religion and applies it to his life. I don't know, but there are sentences that explain you, just the way it is. Like the author was in your head once. Like anonymous said on tumblr: '...it sometimes feels as though they were written with us in mind'. Ran into a lot of quotes by John Green on tumblr and decided to begin with this book of his, regret nothing :) I like to follow people's taste and try to understand why they love something, what for.
The quotes I picked (I read the book in translation):
