I read Looking for Alaska

I wasn't excited when I started reading this book. Firstly because I've read John Green's The Fault in Our Stars and it was a great deception and because I accidentally read people's critics on Looking for Alaska and they were disturbingly cynical! Although I was discouraged, I continued my reading plan and I don't regret it at all. The book turned out to be totally amazing! 
So Looking for Alaska takes place on campus at the Culver Creek Boarding School, where Miles Halter (the central narrator with Pudge as his nickname) heads after the Great Perhaps. John Green plunges his reader into Miles mind, making him perceive the world and the flow of events from the perspective of an adolescent. 
What I loved about the book is the juxtaposition of adolescence and death. How Pudge, the Colonel, Takumi, and Lara behaved after the loss of their beloved Alaska Young. Alaska could be the protagonist along with Miles. She is a complex and mysterious character. Her perpetual complexity is depicted from the beginning and even after her death. Her decease occurred in very enigmatic circumstances which will raise many questions that will be answered later on throughout the book.
I guess the main theme of the novel is the question of life- life as a dilemma and a vicious circle. The question that the book suggests "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth?" is the gist of this work.
