This is a very good and interesting book. The setting is at Culver Creek a college. Many groups of people go to the school. There are many different races of people. In this book there are two big groups that don’t like each other and they pull pranks on each other. Sometimes they pull minor jokes on each other but mostly there extreme pranks.
Alaska has three best friends and they do everything together. They sneak out to drink, smoke, and discuss their next big prank. The group has a secret smoking hole no one else knows about, not even the principle (eagle). If they get busted smoking they go to a college court and do community service. Most of the time Alaska and her friends don’t get caught smoking or drinking.
Alaska gets really depressed she had problems when she was little. When she was little her mom had a seizure, Alaska didn’t know what to do. Alaska’s father blamed the whole incident on her and from then on when she does something wrong she thinks she’s a screw up. Alaska like the zoo her mom always brought her there. When someone talks about a zoo Alaska gets depressed because it reminds her of her mom’s seizure since it was a day after they went to the zoo.
Alaska screws up and her alcohol level is at .24 and she forgets about her mom’s anniversary. Alaska sneaks out and crashes her car. A told her friends that she did not even try to swerve. Alaska’s friends try to figure out clues if she committed suicide or was it an accident.
Over all it’s a good book. I think you should read it because it’s really interesting. It’s more of a teen book. I liked the book if I were to score it I would give it a 8 out of ten because it wasn’t the very best book I’ve read but it was a good book.
