I really like this book. It made me laugh and sad at the same time, (Though there are some boring parts) It's beautiful in some way it has a good message. 
 Miles reminds me of Charlie of The Perks of Being a Wallflower as he attend Culver Creek Boarding School. Where he explore new things such as drinking and smoking with his new found friends. 
 The Colonel, Alaska, Lara & Takumi. 
 I like The Colonel because he is a funny man and he just made me laugh while reading this and of course Miles for being honest to his feelings, I love his essay at the last part. 
 I pity Alaska. She lived her entire life with guilt, which makes her weak and a coward. I just feel sad for her. 
 What I learned in this book: 
 Life is not easy as we say, the problems we encountered are inevitable. We suffer from it that sometimes you just want to give up. Giving up is not a solution. Just be strong enough to deal with it. For sure you'll survive. 
 I'm looking forward to read another John Green book. :)
