Paper Towns

I really enjoyed this book. I found the sections of the book a great way to keep the reader interested. Section one really introduced you to the characters of Quentin Jacobson and Margo Roth Spiegleman. It really brought me back to my own childhood. I pictured a neighborhood a lot like mine with lots of houses and kids to play with. It reminded me that the friends I played with in my elementary days were not my close friends when I got to high school. I loved the fact the he was a smart kid that didn't really fit in, and from a good home, with involved parents. His friends Radar and Ben were great additional roles during the story. Quentin and his friends reminded me of people I knew in high school, that never really fit in. Margo loved adventure and wasnt really what she seemed. Section two Q really realized how Margo was frustrating trying to figure out the clues she had left. The idea of no one is really who they seem is a good lesson for . The idea of a paper town was a new concept for me, but I found it extremely fitting in this story. The humor in this story was great. I laughed with the graduation gift of a new car, and it being a van. The after prom scene was great as he had to pick up his intoxicated friends. That situation is so true because all prom after parties I went to involved a massive party and Im sure it still happens today. Section three gave the journey to find Margo and the adventure the the road trip to NY. The time aspect of hours gave you the idea that they might not make it in time. I must say I wanted Margo and Quentin to get together and they go back together. But when they didnt I was a little disappointed. I guess I always want a happily ever after fantasy but knowing it truly doesn't happen. I really liked this story and just might read some of John Greens other work.
