Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificent Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. When their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Margo has disappeared. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Embarking on an exhilarating adventure to find her, the closer Q gets, the less he sees the girl he thought he knew.

#1 Bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars John Green crafts a brilliantly funny and moving coming-of-age journey about true friendship and true love.

I enjoy a good story, and I heard about John Green's work through my friends. I figured his books must be good if they are being made into movies. Initially, I liked it a lot: the plot was interesting and most characters were highly developed. However, towards the end (after the cow incident), it got tiring to read; the end itself wasn't that good either. Though it highlighted an important life lesson, Paper Towns left me saddened for the characters I became so attached to.

Great book. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's John Green's best book. I didn't find it as insightful as The Fault in Our Stars but the story was great. I think it captured high school and graduation very accurately as to how everyone feels at that time in their lives. I found Q to be extremely relatable and I found his friendships inspiring. This book was funny and entertaining and I think that I would definitely read it again. Two thumbs up.

I liked it the plot, but like most of John Green's books, it was another love story. I don't usually like them, but I think that this book was pretty good, and I really liked the characters for their differing personalities. I didn't like that the main character had a huge crush on Margo, even though he hasn't talked to her for years. It seemed unrealistic to me.
