Looking for Alaska: Book Format

Looking for Alaska is a wonderful book. What makes it even better is the formatting. The formatting of the book doesn't necessarily have chapters. The book has a count down of days til this event happens. I suppose the only real chapters are called Before and After. Other than those, there is bold words saying the number of days til the event happens. When you first read the book, it's like, "What's the days for? What's going to happen?" Some people tend to get curious over what's the whole big main event everything is surrounding. The key of not ruining the book is to not overcome that curiosity and skip to the event. It's a never expecting story. I never thought that the event would of happened, especially of a book by John Green. John Green always have the books about finding something/someone. When you first read the title Looking for Alaska, the first word of the title makes you think, "Okay someone's going to find the state Alaska?" As you read on, you find that the Alaska is not a state, then you realize, "Okay, he's going to find Alaska (not the state)." I think this book is the best book from John Green is about my favorite book along side with Poison. I recommend that anyone of any taste of books can read this amazing book. :)
