Looking for Alaska

I just couldn't get into this book, although I really wanted to since I absolutely adored Fault in our Stars. I practically hated both Pudge and Alaska - I found them both boring. Pudge had this neat personality trait where he enjoyed famous people's last words but he never really had any kind of interesting dialogue... or interesting thoughts, for that matter. He just thought about how hot Alaska was and counted the number of layers of clothes between him and the nearest girl. Alaska was this moody, super-sexualized cock-teasing bitch and does it make me a terrible person when I say that I didn't really care at all and also saw it coming when she died? Well, I guess, it is a John Green Book lol. Anyway, I can't count the number of times I felt uncomfortable about Pudge's overly fantastical description of Alaska's top straining against her breasts or the heat of Alaska's hand on Pudge's thigh. These moments literally made me stop reading and just stare at the book, thinking, “really?”

I did love the Colonel and his mother though. They were cool. The ending actually kinda made me think the book was okay, instead of absolutely hating it, since it showed that actually, and obviously, Pudge wasn't the only one affected by Alaska's presence. I found him incredibly self-centered, especially with what he did with Lara, so I felt better about Takumi leaving that last letter for Pudge to read.
