Why I prefer John Green's debut novel to his other ones is because he's made no effort to make it an appropriate and proper book. How the characters communicate, their relationships with each other, their pasts and the pleasure that comes with being a bad kid shine through the pages. It showcases what young love and growing up really are in a brutal and honest light. The beauty of the book is that it doesn't hide anything.
There are also essential parts of teenage life thrown in casually and skillfully to the story, such as pranks, bets and disastrous parties. He's introduced by his roommates to beautiful, mysterious and emotionally confused Alaska Young, and the story progresses, mostly centered around Miles' life at Culver Creek and his growing attachment to Alaska.
Miles Halter or "Pudge" as he is referred to throughout the book, is the protagonist, and the book starts with Miles leaving Florida to attend a school in Alabama.
