Looking For Alaska

“After”

After is the second section of Looking for Alaska. When you are reading “Before” it will say “one hundred ten days before” or “fifty-eight days before” and so on, then you get to after. Right when you finish before you will want to find out why they were counting down the days so you automatically can’t put the book down. Of course you know something was wrong because they were talking about how drunk they were in the last few pages of before. I think that the biggest “hook” of the book was just the fact that the days would count down because you would really want to know what it leads up to and the whole concept of a “before” and “after”. Something HUGE has to happen that you split the book into two sections.
