Looking for Alaska - John Green

The book is broken into 2 halves, in a diary type fashion, into before and after a significant event in the lives of several teenagers at a boarding school. The book centers around a group of misfits, who come together in the usual fashion. They like breaking the rules, and trying to not get caught. It's the usual stuff that kids get into at their age, drinking, smoking and a little sex (but more talking about it than doing it). It was a reasonable way to blow some time, and the sense of place is quite good. However, I'm pretty sure it will quickly be forgotten.
