Introducing Penguin Minis! #1 bestselling author John Green like you've never read him before. If I bought it, I'd go to a used bookstore.“Will slip equally well into a pocket as a Christmas stocking.” – The Wall Street Journal, “What to Give, ” holiday gift guide. The story and characters are relatable in the contexts of teen angst, first love, and a desire to strive for more beyond a quiet, suburban town. I remember hearing about it when I was that age, and it was popular at that time. I recommend this book for readers 13 and older. There is no real “resolution” of any kind, but I still really enjoyed it. The book is anticlimactic in that sense, and gives the reader a hollow feeling after completing it. There is a reason for the search, but more of the story could have centered on the budding relationships between an unlikely group of friends. I would like to have had more development in other characters rather than Quentin's inner monologue about Margo, about whom he barely knows anything. Most of the novel surrounds Quentin’s search for clues: the attempt to find connections between them and Margo and the long road trip he and his friends take to track her down. That made it exciting to anticipate their actions and exchanges in conversation.ĭespite its riveting themes, the book tends to be a bit slow, especially during the second half. The characters are likeable and unique, and their interactions are genuine and realistic for their ages. I really admire the way John Green uses language to make every character unique and bring them to life as the story unfolds. With its constant pace and excellent writing, Paper Towns is a very good and comfortable read. With the help of his friends Radar and Ben, and Margo's best friend Lacey, the teens embark on a seemingly endless journey alongside to find and rescue her. This time, though, the clues seem to be for Quentin to uncover and decipher. She has run away before, and her parents are tired of her cryptic clues of where she's gone.

She got revenge on everyone who has harmed her and vanished. The next day, just as Quentin is hoping for a new chapter in their relationship, Margo has disappeared. She enlists him as her “getaway driver” and partner on a crazy adventure. Quentin has been obsessed with the popular Margo (who lives next door), so when Margo comes to his window at midnight just as they are getting ready to graduate high school, he is 'all in' for spending time with Margo. Quentin Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegleman have been friends since they were nine years old.
