For more reviews check out my blog, Thoughts of a Fashionista! Quentin Jacobsen has always been in love with the elusive and enchanting Margo Roth Spiegelman. It's like a dream come true when she enters his room late at night--dressed like a ninja--and enlists his help on a night of revenge and excitement. Quentin is sure that his life and relationship with Margo has changed forever but when she disappears Quentin starts to worry that change isn't a good thing. John Green's unique sense of humor is just as engaging in print as it is on his YouTube videos. Any of his Internet fans will surely be pleased. I know I was. Paper Towns is an engaging and complex read. At moments it is filled with a light-heartedness that can only come from first-loves in high school and at others it is filled with themes that even those who left high school long ago can appreciate. Green writes with a sense of understanding and honesty that is a joy to read. And he can really spin a tale of suspense. The twists and turns were unexpected. That is the perfect word to describe Green's writing. Unexpected. From the black Santas to breaking into Sea World. From the discovery of a dead body to Margo's disappearance. Green takes his audience into uncharted territory. It is refreshing to find a young-adult book that isn't a regurgitation of a tale that we all have heard before. This story proves that young-adult fiction is more than second-rate literature. Paper Towns is a magnificent read. Filled with insightful prose and exciting plot development. This book is perfect for readers of all ages--except if those readers are under thirteen.
Boring, poorly written, lacking any of the vitality the protagonist purportedly possessed. The author confuses listing affairs and period details with writing a story. There was not a single psychological insight throughout. Gave up at page 160. Disappointing.
