This was my second book by the famous author, John Green.   As first novel of him I read was The Fault in Our Stars . He is a really amazing writer. He wrote his first novel looking for Alaska , at the age of 28, published in March 2005.

Virginia's novel is based on stream of consciousness technique and many modernist literary techniques are also included in this novel. Before l started reading this novel, one of my friends said that she stopped reading this novel in half as she found it so much difficult to understand.

I was confused a lot to read that there are fewer dialogues but much descriptive writin...
