Looking for Alaska was one of my favorites when I first read it back in high school. Now a college graduate, and I wanted to see how it would hold up. There were still many things to love about this story. It's easy to read, has likeable characters, and is a fairly straight forward plot that does try to tackle some of life's deeper questions. From a slightly more mature perspective, I question these characters and their actions a little bit more than I did several years ago, but I still think it's worth a read, especially if you have never read any other John Green books before.

A child is shot but not one of the targeted ones. The shooter, Dunn is a lone wolf antigovernment person. Now the hunt for Dunn is escalated & Lucas is tracking down every known home grown terrorist group. Davenport figures out that the website was a publicity hoax by a Senators daughter. Davenport does get the shooter, gets the site shutdown & gets in out in media that site is a hoax to prevent further shootings.
