My experiences looking for Alaska

Entry 2
         I have started reading looking for Alaska i found it to be a really good book to the point that i have read around 3 times my normal goals for reading.  I greatly enjoyed the book until the major event of the book happened which changed to tone so drastically in the book it doesn't feel like the same book anymore.

         Now even though i greatly dislike the change in the book i feel that it was a really smart move on his part to show how fast the world can change, but it was not without its fair warning the main bit of foreshadowing was the quote "We did not say: Don't drive. You're drunk.  We did not say: We aren't letting you in that car when you are upset. We did not say: We insist on going with you. We did not say: This can wait until tomorrow. Anything-everything-can wait." This is a good example of the author foreshadowing(Spoilers) the death of Alaska. even though i dis like the turn of the book i will continue to read it and see how it ends.
