Paper Towns
Paper Towns is a jaw-dropping
novel by John Green is full of mystery, adventure, and love. Quentin (Q) is in love with Margo Roth
Spiegelman, but she does not know that.
Margo has fascinated Q for as long as he can remember but he has never
had the courage to go up to her and tell her.
They have been friends since the very beginning as well, but went
different ways when they got older. That
all changes on one fateful night, when Margo climbs through Q’s window and
proposes a plan of revenge that she needs Q’s help with. Together they go on an adventure and
humiliate Margo’s enemies like, Margo’s boyfriend and her past friends. But when Margo does not come back after a
couple of days Q starts to worry. Margo
disappears from time to time but he knows that this time is different. She is not a missing minor anymore, so the
cops do not really search for her.
Therefore, Q starts his own search for her with his friends, Ben and
Radar, and Ben’s girlfriend and Margo’s ex-best friend, Lacey. They travel to many places and go on an
outright crazy journey just to find her.
Along the way they find clues that they believe will lead them to her,
but will it be enough to find her?
John Green uses writing that is
easily understood. He is descriptive but
not too wordy. The novel makes you think
about yourself and who you really are.
Each word and sentence will leave you wanting more until you find out
who the real Margo is and where she went.
People who love adventure and love coming together into one novel will
like this book. Elizabeth B.; Teen Reviewer
