Paper Towns

Paper Towns by John Green

The overall situation in this book is when Margo realized that her boyfriend has been cheating on her. She decides to get all the people who did her wrong back, including her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend. Late one night, Margo climbs through Q’s window dressed in all black, convincing him to accompany her in her journey of revenge. Q agrees to going on the journey and sneaks out, taking his mother’s minivan with him. After their night of adventures, the next day at school Margo isn’t there. After asking around, Q realizes that Margo has left clues for him to find her. When he gets enough clues to go looking, he ditches his friend’s party that they had planned for months to go look for his best friend, Margo Roth Spiegelman.


I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books about mysteries and lots of plot twists. John Green did an amazing job on being vey descriptive about each character, including the adventure of Quentin Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman.

  1. I disagree, yes the book was about that. I just think it's very stereotypical. You know exactly what s going to happen within three chapters, or at least I did. It was rather boring because of this. It has a great plot and character structure but they make Margo too mysterious it's not realistic. You can't relate to her. Q is relatable though which is good the way their relationship is though is very jumbled. I can't tel why he kept hanging on to it. It seemed like it had faded into the floorboards.
