John Green is a literary master. His work is always so profoundly moving whilst being digestible in such a sophisticated, yet friendly, manner.

I dubb thee King of YA. 

 I just don't know how to rate john green's books, because I feel like I'm left out in the loop and meaning of his books, and their depth and I just wish I'd feel what everyone else felt, but I feel like as a community we've all moved on from this dystopian styled plot where everything's just so abstract. I feel like there's no meaning to any of this book, I was just reading to read and I hate when I feel like that. But, it's not like I hated the book, I just didn't get it, didn;t enjoy, but I still don't think it's "bad". Okay, just read it and decide for yourself because I haven't got a clue.

Johnu Greenovi jsem opět dala další šanci, protože jsem prostě nevěděla, jestli mám jeho knihy ráda, nebo ne. Hledání Aljašky je zajímavý příběh, a teď, když už jsem viděla i seriál, na něj nahlížím trošku jinak, než v průběhu čtení knihy. Já tady ale nechci recenzovat seriál (který se mi mimochodem moc líbil), chci vám říct svůj názor na knihu. A ten není až tak pozitivní.
Nejvíc mě na knize štval Miles. Ten způsob, jakým přemýšlí o Aljašce, byl nechutný. Přišlo mi, že není zamilovaný do ní, ale do jejího těla. Některý scény byly fakt divný. V knize od něj slyšíme minimálně 7x, jakou má Aljaška sexy postavu.. To bylo prostě divný, a hodně mi to tu knihu zkazilo. Příběh sám o sobě byl zajímavý, ale taky to nebylo nic nového. No, ona ta knížka je stará nějakých 20 let, takže v té době knih o dospívání ve škole mohlo být méně.

Kniha mě ani tolik neurazila, ani tolik nenadchla, a proto jí dávám 3,5*/5*

not bad but too 2014 tumblr for my taste (am i maturing?). Honestly felt like fake deep content...

I cried so many times because 1) this was all emo as hell 2) looking for meaning is like my only hobby and this book captured it so well 3) the way the stages of grief are depicted like ahjssjdjdkdjdk 4) the characters were really complex, and I still don’t know wether I like them but somehow that didn’t matter

i dnf-ed this back when i was a teen and i didn’t know why i suddenly wanted to start this again but here i am and my unsolicited review.

my thoughts while reading this: 
- aren’t they a bunch of insufferable kids? 
- they’re so tumblr 2012-2014 angsty teens core 
- omg alaska 

i honestly liked the structure of the book’s narration. the chapters are arranged seemingly like a countdown that leads to alaska death. and after that, the chapters served as a timeline which shows the following events that happened to the group after her untimely demise.

2 stars because i’m basing on how i feel now that i’ve reread this as an adult. however, angsty teen me back in 2013 would’ve probably given this higher than that. overall, this is a coming-of-age novel which explores themes of hope, loss, friendship, and the search of meaning.

"There are many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, thing that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless."

 I very much liked this John Green novel compared to The Fault in Our Stars, surprisingly, this was much more emotional for me. I found the sad parts really sad, and the funny parts made me laugh out unexpectedly. Though what made this book extra special, was that my friend had added her own comments to the book, making me see things I would not have paid attention to if not for the notes. :)
