Read it. Go read it now. Do it.

I started and finished Looking for Alaska (by John Green) over the period of four days. That's surprising for someone like me who doesn't make time to read much anymore.

I did so because the book was fantastic!

A friend was telling me last week about how a book isn't really good until you start emotionally feeling for the characters, when stuff happens and you just want to throw the book across the room or you have to stop reading for one reason or another. Sure, I've read some books that I consider my favorites, but I could not really relate with her.

Until now. At the story's climax, I was tearing up. Continuing reading, and there might have been a tear or two. And I decided I had had enough for the night and would continue later.

It was a fantastic book from the beginning, but from that point on the story just got better. And the book, well, I don't know if I'll ever read a book that good again.

I highly recommend it. I wish I could buy a hundred copies and give them to all my friends.
