What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.

Title: Paper Towns
Author: John Green 

Synopsis: Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows.

After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew. 


Review: I was expecting amazingness when I picked up this book simply because it was written by John Green and his books are like my babies - I adore every single one of them and I'm sure I will enjoy the ones he writes in the future. Even though I had no idea what the book was about even by reading the synopsis, I really, really enjoyed it from the start. Two of the things I liked the most about this book were the characters and the concept of paper towns. I need to connect to the characters in the book to enjoy them because that's what gives me the motivation to finish them and I certainly connected to the characters in this book. I didn't necessarily relate to every single aspect of their lives, but I enjoyed reading about their adventures and how they developed throughout the book. For example, Margo Roth Spiegelman. My opinion of her slowly started changing as Quentin's opinion of her was. She starts of as this amazing, mysterious girl and Quentin realizes that he wanted to believe that she was that and she definitely wasn't. Even though she wasn't my favorite character, I still liked reading about her because the book revolves around her, to be honest. Ben, Radar and Lacey are awesome secondary characters that have interesting stories of their own and are not pushed aside and ignored or clichés like in other books. I think that the best way to describe this book is unique, I haven't read anything similar to it yet. I think books with a tiny hint of mystery are the ones that I like the most, I just love the feeling of trying to guess what's going to happen next. Good job, John Green.
