Sixteen-year-old Miles' first year at Culver Creek Preparatory School in Alabama includes good friends and great pranks, but is defined by the search for answers about life and death after a fatal car crash.

"Cansado de su aburrida existencia, Miles, de 16 años, se muda a un colegio internado para ir en busca de lo que el poeta Rabelais llamó 'Gran quizá.' Ahí su recién descubierta libertad y una enigmática chica, Alaska, lo lanzan de lleno a la vida. Cuando Miles siente que está por alcanzar su objectivo, una tragedia inesperada amenaza con arrebatárselo"--P. [4] of cover.

Meh

I like John Green's writing but I didn't connect with this story enough to even really remember it after all this time. Even though I've remembered the rest of the books I've read from the same time period. I don't think I connected with the characters very much.
