I read Paper Towns on my way to (and from) Prague in a quiet German bus. I was only interrupted when the initial announcement came on that you get wifi on the bus and that they hope we enjoy the trip. The weekend in Prague was a success, but I found reading the book hard. Why? I found that I just di...
I have to say I'm a bit mixed about Paper Towns. On one hand, I love the many underlying messages in the book. It's about the dangers of becoming fixated on your personal perception of who someone is, rather than who they really are. It's about friendship -- real, fake, old, and new. It's about dari...
I had wanted to read this book since I heard that the writer had gotten tired of the "manic pixie dream girl" trope and wanted to destroy it. I don't remember where I had originally seen it, but I did find this article that supports that thought, spoilers are in the article though. I loved it. I lo...
Book Riot Read Harder Challenge Item: A book that was adapted into a movieThis book felt a little uneven to me, and also like a bit of a rehash of the John Green I've read in the past ([book:Looking for Alaska|99561], [book:An Abundance of Katherines|49750], [book:Let It Snow|3213286]). This was som...
Paper Towns is the second novel I have read by John Green. The story was divided into three parts. The first part had the introduction of characters, Quentin (called Q) and Margo Roth Spiegelman. The night of revenge that was crazy and I love it. But after that night Margo disappears. The second par...
As with anything and everything I have read by John Green, I greatly enjoyed this book. No, I didn't sob my way through it as I did with The Fault in Our Stars, but it was moving in its own way. This is a book that can't be easily categorized as any one thing... a romance, a friend read, a mystery, ...
“Here’s what’s not beautiful about it: from here, you can’t see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You see how fake it all is. It’s not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It’s a paper town.” I think Paper Towns is my favorite John Green b...
Quentin Jacobsen spent his whole childhood loving the magnificent Margo Roth Spiegelman who lives across the street. Some day, a few weeks before their graduation, Margo cracks open a window to climb into his life. She is dressed like a ninja and wants him to come with her to do an ingenious campaig...
I have one late teen and two soon-to-be-teen girls, so I know of Mr. Green. Saw the preview of the movie and it looked fun and light. I will take my two soon-to-be-teen girls when it opens at the end of July; great cover...all the other girls will think I'm a cool dad (and I am!) It was fun and ma...
