Paper Towns by John Green
Product Details
Web ID: 14388815Made me laugh!
Paper Towns by John Green was one of the most interesting books I have ever read. The setting is in Orlando, Florida where Quinten Jacobsen and his friends Ben and Radar try to find Ben’s hot neighbor Margo Roth Speigalman. This novel goes through all the ups and downs of finding out you're getting cheated on, to catching the cheaters in the act by throwing a catfish into their house, to even breaking into SeaWorld by sneaking through the swamps. If you haven’t read Paper Towns yet, I highly suggest you do so.

A dramatic Town
This book is amazing. The title of this book is Paper Towns by John Green. Paper Towns is very interesting because of the drama and every teenager has probably gone through most of the things that happened in this book. People between the ages of 12-18 should read this book. If you are someone in high school that enjoys high school drama and mystery, then you should read Paper Towns because it has both drama and mystery. And for this reason I rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I lost Interest Quickly
The start quickly drew me but I lost interest right around part two. Since I wanted to know the answer to the mystery I did keep reading. Quentin has always loved the girl next door, Margo may have liked him at one time but ever since they found a deceased person their relationship as friends disintegrated. Now the most popular girl in high school Quentin watches Margo from a distance until one night she shows up at his window demanding his help. After a wild night of supposedly random occurrences Margo disappears. Determined to find his friend Quentin goes on a journey to piece together the clues left behind. The writing was alright, part of it just dragged and seemed to go in circles which drove me crazy. Overall I just did not care for the story and was highly disappointed. Guess it was not my style of book.

The book paper towns was an amazing book
The book paper towns was an amazing book to read while being cooped up in my house for the past few weeks. This book was a thrilling adventure to solve a mystery on where Margo Roth Speigelman ran away to. The title tells a lot about the book. “Paper towns” is a reference to when Margo was complaining to Quentin how Orlando (the place they live) is very fake. People make it look so shiny and fun but in reality it's all a lie and the town is dirty and fake. I think in this book the characters are very unique and not the stereotypical characters you would get in an average book. One thing that I liked about the book was that there were many different conflicts going on that in the end resolved and all came together. If there was only one story line it would get boring but there were many different conflicts happening at the same time. For example, Quentin(the main character) was trying to solve the mystery of where Margo went and at the same time there was the conflict of Quentin's friends and the last few weeks of senior year where they were all getting ready for prom. While there’s the story in the beginning about the one night that Margo and Quentin snuck out and got revenge on everyone that had done something wrong to Margo. Another thing that I really liked about this book was the characters. Margo was a mysterious character that you could never really predict. She was not like your stereotypical popular girl. She liked to run away and do crazy things. She also was a genuine person who cared a lot about people’s personality and not just their looks and who they were friends with. Quentin was also not one of the black and white characters in a book. He was really focused on school and following rules but once Margo was gone, he learned to live a little and do what he wanted. This book taught me to never place labels on people and to get to know people before you make assumptions about people. For instance Margo from the outside seemed like a shallow teenage girl who only cared about dating the most popular boy. But after Quentin joined her on an adventure to get revenge, he realized that she is a mysterious and genuine person.
