Alex M. recommended this book to me and I couldn't put the book down ( thats when i wasn't doing hwk). This book was amamzing from the beginning to the end, questioning the bigger meanings in life such as how can we escape the labyrinth of suffering? Or How can we search for our Great Perhaps? Throughout the book, we look at the lives of Miles “Pudge” Halter, Alaska Young, Chip “The Colonel” Martin and Takumi Hikomito as they try to figure out their purposes in life at a Alabama boarding school where the rich preppy kids are separated from the poor. But most importantly, they never rat on each other for anything. When a tragic accident occurs, the whole meaning of life changes right before their eyes, and uses their interests in biographies, literature and religion to sort of help them escape that ongoing labyrinth. I recommend it to everyone
