“At some point, you gotta stop looking up at the sky, or one of these days you’ll look back down and see that you floated away, too.”

Summary (John Green):

“Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life–dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge–he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues- and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew…

My summary:

Margo Roth Spiegelman is an event unto herself. She’s notorious for doing things that no high schooler would have the guts to do. Sneaking into concerts, sneaking into the school bully’s house in the middle of the night and Nair-ing his eyebrow, and smashing a fish under the seat of her ex-best friend’s cat, and even more! So when she sneaks into Q’s window and asks him for his help, how could he say no? After their all-nighter, Margo’s best friend Lacey comes to Q and tells him that she’s missing. It seems like Margo’s run away from home and left everyone clueless…Until Margo starts leaving addresses and tiny clues and the closer he gets, the more ugly the clues she leaves gets.

I loved Paper Towns. I thought it was brilliantly written and the wording of the entire book was excellent. I love how you could relate to Quentin perfectly. He’s a regular teenager with an extreme distaste for prom. He’s intelligent, kind of weird, and he acts like a regular teenager. His friends are normal, his parents are normal, his friend’s parents are certainly not normal, and John Green didn’t create this perfect teenager to play Margo. When Quentin finds Margo, she doesn’t tell him that she had a small fight with her parents, Margo has a reason. A pretty extreme reason. Again, I loved this book, and I love the plot line. The ending, like most John Green books, make you want a sequel! But if you ask John Green, he leaves it up to you to decide. “Books belong to their readers,” Mr. Green says.

You should definatley read this book before the movie comes out! I’m certainly going to see the movie, and I can’t wait until it comes out! Paper Towns is definatley one of my favorite books, and I rated it 4.5 stars!
