After reading The Fault in Our Stars, I decided it was time to read the other John Green books. I know that there are people who are not fans of John Green and people who are; and I happen to be one of those people who like John Green. John Green has a way of writing that, I think, is relatable to most teenagers. He doesn’t write about unlikely things where the unpopular boy gets the girl and they live happily ever after. John Green writes about plots that has aspects that are relatable to us all. When I first starting reading Paper Towns, I was immediately intrigued because all of Quentin’s friends are band geeks. I myself am a band geek and found the friendships fitting between the characters as I do with my friends. And like Quentin, my friends are either in the band or not in the band but wish that they were in the band. Furthermore, I liked the underlying theme of friendship in the novel and, therefore, give Paper Towns 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book to any fan of John Green and Maureen Johnson’s 13 Little Blue Envelopes.
Quentin Jacobsen, or Q as his friends call him, is just like any other guy…lusting after a girl he can never have. And that girl is Margo Roth Spiegelman, whom Quentin has lived next door to his entire life. But one night when Margo climbs into Q’s life (via his bedroom window), Q has no other choice than to follow Margo Roth. This leads to the unlikely duo carpe diem-ing it up, as Margo leads Q on a night of revenge filled tasks that may or may not be legal. But when Q returns to school the next day, he is surprised to find that Margo is gone leaving nothing but her mystery behind. Now, in the last few weeks of senior year of high school, Q and his friends must uncover the clues that, hopefully, lead to the return of Margo Roth Spiegelman. Find out what happens when band nerds and popularity collide in this thrilling novel by John Green.
