Looking for Alaska - quotes

[samthemanwholikesham]

Best book I've ever read :) thankyou John Green. Made me overthink lots of things that are similar in my life to what happens in the book where and for that I am thankful :)

[juliuscaesary]

I think Logan Lerman should play Pudge!

Then Jennifer Connelly, if only she was younger, could play Alaska!

It would be one hell of a perfect match.

[AlmostFound]

@ohmysillymilli Where did you find out that Shia Labeouf is the guy?

[shtuded]

@ohmysillymilli, howd you find that out?

[ohmysillymilli]

its going to be a movie. shia lebeouf is palying pudge.

[IronSideZer0]

Son of a bitch...shia lebuttfuck is playing pudge? Well...maybe it'll work...

[makeorbreakgirlz]

no it wont!!! that motherfucker!!

[IronSideZer0]

@makeorbreakgirlz He was really good in The Greatest Game Ever Played. Maybe he just needs the right role. Let's be honest, there's not much to work with in Transformers or Indiana Jones...he just keeps getting the crappy end of the stick.

[makeorbreakgirlz]

how do you know????

[Kristin0996]

This is going to be a movie!?

OHMAHGOD

[DeathByLiquorice]

the idea of the book is that you don't know if she did or did not kill herself. That's what Miles keeps beating himself up about.

[GrimmRebellion]

another good song for the book would be Wake Up by Arcade fire

[dannileini008]

i love this book... i read it a million times!!

and every single time i read the part when she dies it makes me cry.

amazing video! :(

[luchiano93]

THE BEST BOOL I'VE EVER READ and i don't know so much engllish ... i'm from romania

[IronSideZer0]

@luchiano93 Just like Lara. Kinda sexy, lol.

[Yotehunter93]

I'm a guy and this book made me want what Pudge and Alaska had, This book will bring your emotions out no matter who you are thats for sure.

[TheVirtualReality]

Upcoming movie???

Really? :))

[doodeedaaLOL]

That's brilliant. The book was absolutely thought provoking. What is the song you used?

[crashoverride1345]

that book was the best

[homeboyxpinoy]

hmm i wonder if pudge and alaska wouldve gotten together if she hadnt killed herself.

from the beginning i really wanted pudge and alaska to get together. i thought they would during the thanksgiving break

[WolfWatcher23]

But she didn't kill herself, did you not pay attention in the end of the book?

[homeboyxpinoy]

then who killed her?

[WolfWatcher23]

Nobody. It was a car accident.

[homeboyxpinoy]

didnt she do it on purpose though?

thats why she wrote straight and fast in that book.

and the officer said she directly hit the cop car

[thescream22]

no one did. it was just an accident

[EmoFoxChibi]

I just finished the book today, and i loooved it. As soon as i got to the "After" section, i almost cried when i found out that she died! Alaska is my FAV main chara (in this order: Alaska, Takumi, The Colonel, Pudge, and Laura.)..great vid. it honestly fits it perfectly ;D!

[WolfWatcher23]

I started crying when the Colonel started yelling "I'm sorry" over and over again. That part was sad.

[littlebitspecial]

This book is simply amazing, it has changed my perceptions and challenged my views on most things. I could try for weeks and not be able to explain how fantastic and how much of an influence this book has made. Even this video made me get goose bumps and almost cry due to the shear intensity and the impact the words make on you as a reader, John Green is pure genius. I also reccomend you look up the fictionalized account of the last days of Simon bolivar 'the general in his labyrinth' :)

[omgitsmegx]

I second everything littlebitspecial said

[tomeofenigmas]

Incredibly awesome book. Simply life-changing. In fact, when I go off to college in the summer, it's going to be right there on my bookshelf and it'll always remind me to look for my 'Great Perhaps'.

[1Cr8zyInDiaN]

wat r the pg numbers of these quotes lov them lov the book n lov John Green!!!

[heyitscrystal]

are they seriously making this into a movie???

[michiev]

i dont know, it says (on wikipedia mind you) that the rights for the movie were bought, but it just depends on what John wants to do with this novel.

[haleyad1]

john i thnk sed a while ago he was working on the screenplay but i dnt no if that is going anywhere or not

[PaperTearsX]

The people who made Juno have brought the movie rights to the movie and John has given then a first draft of the screenplay.

But then, rights to movies are brought often and some are never made into movie, depending on how they feel about it.

I hope it does though

[thatgirlmegan]

I hope they do too!

It would make an incredible movie, do you know any updates on the movie?

[yellowtail92]

i will shat my pants when they do

[CeciliaMadonna]

Once you read thios book your life is changed forever, I agree. One of the best books of all time. Are they making a movie out of it? I think it would make a graet movie.

[GabriellaxxGruesome6]

that book is life-changing.

[clockwise16912]

the book is amazing. should be high school required reading

[Director705]

It is in some schools.

[TheDiscosNotDead]

holy shit that made me cry :P

that book is composed of awesome

[hornyflyingcows]

dude this book is so amazing i love it so much great job and great music

[chrissyjeano]

That is by far my favorite book. I always cry when I think about it.

[koriroxy]

what song?

[olivepaste]

French Kicks: Trial of the Century

[raverXangel4lyph]

No matter how many times I see this it still bring tears to my eyes. This book is Holy.

[kandyjunkie777]

is there seriously a movie coming out?

[ineedcereal]

kill hannah

nerve gas would be a way better song for the end of the book

but nice anyway

[potternerds101]

Aaah, chills! Looking for Alaska is just about the greatest book ever! The song sounds like it would be good in the movie.

[RonandHermioneLOVER]

really great

[fencingpeter]

beautiful writing

[Sarahbear9789]

This is awesome.

[wanderlove11]

I agree, I want to read it even more now. Question though, what's the song?

[olivepaste]

the trial of the century by the french kicks. definately check it out!

[rosabw]

Makes me want to read the book.

I suffered my own pain, but to survive...I also had to "forgive everybody everything" ala Tuesdays With Morrie...that book changed my life more than any advice from anyone. Maybe John Greens book will do that for kids growing up in pain today.

I have never forgotten, forgive everybody everything...and I continue to do so, going so far as to forgive myself. It's like a religion, but better.

I hope John becomes very famous. He has a great heart!

This is so cool; thanks! -John Green
