Everything that might offend people is there for a reason.Īs for the actual story, it's about Miles Halter, who is fascinated by last words, and how he goes to a boarding school and meets Alaska Young. However, without these, this book would be entirely different - and probably not as powerful. There is a good amount of drinking/drugs/smoking. If you read this book with a parent (like I did) I think a younger age would be suitable.įor additional warnings for parents, I would say this: The characters are fully developed and the description is stunning.Īs for the 14+ rating, I this is the rating if you read it alone. Like all John Green books, it is written beautifully. And yes, it's on the banned booklist, but this is a book aimed at the YA crowd for YA readers, so saying that teens can't read about other teens facing the same problems they might face sort of defeats the purpose. I think that everyone should read this, especially teenagers. Despite the 16+ rating, I read this book when I was 11 years old. ![]()
