Paper Towns

This is Kennedy and I just finished the book Paper Towns by John Green!  Some other books written by John Green include: The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances, This Star Won't Go Out, and more.  I have read The Fault in Our Stars and it was very good; I loved the book and it was really touching!  Most of John Green books are tragedies and have sad endings.  I am sure that all of the other books John Green has written are really good because the two books that I have read from him were awesome and I loved them both.  Paper Towns takes you on a mystery with Quentin and lets you experience the adventure that the characters go through.  Paper Towns was a really good book and the theme of the book is that people aren’t always the way they seem, everyone has other sides to them.

               

Paper Towns is about a boy named Quentin Jacobsen or Q who gets pulled into one of Margo Roth Spiegelman’s adventures and experiences things that he would never do himself.  After he goes on Margo’s adventure, Margo becomes a mystery that he has to unravel by finding clues and discovering himself along the way.  “The easiest way to solve a mystery is to decide that there is no mystery to solve.  But it seemed clear to me now that she had left the clues to a mystery behind” (Green 111).  Will Quentin be able to solve her mystery?  The characters include Quentin the main character, Margo Quentin’s crush and friend, Ben and Radar his best friends, and Lacey Ben’s girlfriend and Margo’s friend.

               

Paper Towns was a really good book; I really enjoyed reading it.  I would rate Paper Towns 8 out of 10 because the book was really good and kept me interested.  If you like adventure books, mystery books, or love stories, you would like Paper Towns.  I highly recommend reading this book.
