I took KT's copy of this book. Maybe she will comment on the review. I really liked this book. It is a great YA read. It is the story of Miles "Pudge" Halter, and his experiences in, as he calls it, the "Gre
at Perhaps" of boarding school. Having been a fairly unpopular student with few friends at his local high school, Miles asks to attend his father's alma mater, Culver Creek Boarding School. Miles, almost immediately christened "Pudge," makes friends and experiences life as he never did at home. And this is mostly due to Alaska the "gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy....fascinating Alaska." The author does a great job of introducing us to, and making us like, the main characters. Even though this is written in the first-person, one of my least favorite POVs, Miles tells the reader everything we need to know, and this reader, at least, was very satisfied with the entire book.
