I read the book under the circumstances that my aunt passed away 2 days ago. Which made me value lives and my loved ones even more. 
 Labyrinth. Alaska referred to life as the Labyrinth. The story started out simple and it gets deeper as it revolves around these kids religions study class. I personally love the way their friendship builds and when Alaska died it stays strong if not stronger. 
 I love Miles/Pudge character because in his search of the Great Perhaps, he stays true to his self i.e. the friends he made (or made him their friends) suits him well. Too well for that matters. I enjoyed most of his adventures and how knowledgeable he and his friends are. The book makes me happy despite the great loss. 
 The book is short but its not the word counts that made a story a good one, its how it connects to your heart, and I love this book ;;;;;; too serious what even ahahhaa 
 May Allah bless your soul
