An entry from John Green, and I have never expected that philosophy could be this proximal to us adolescents and young adults. This review is like two weeks late and yeah, I regret entertaining procrastination when it starts.
The story is about a boy who loved keeping in mind public figures' last words before they died and experienced unrequited love. He found friendship and camaraderie through school pranks and trying out vices; such as smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol under their teachers' noses in a boarding school.
Apparently, the story revolved around looking for Miles' great perhaps and resolving the untimely death of his first love as he feels somewhat responsible for the mishap.
Later on, they successfully deduced the mystery behind her death, whether she committed suicide or she was a victim of reckless driving.
Reading this book took me to a world I have not experienced in reality: boarding school, playing pranks, smoking, getting grounded, losing a person so close, being a part of discovering the reason of her death and a lot more. What made me delve into this book is how it is somewhat like a whodunit, like I am portraying Nancy Drew in a CSI crime scene.
Green knew what to write, and knew how his writing would be a parallel to teens. Truly a great coming-of-age novel. A total good read.
I recommend this to teens as there is so much to learn from. Read and set sail to search for your Great Perhaps.
