I liked it. I really did. It was good and I enjoyed the writing. Somehow it didn’t felt enough when it ended (it was still a 4 stars read). Maybe I was waiting for a different ending or I just don’t understand YA that much...

This book was just not for me. The writing was solid, but the ending made me feel like I'd just wasted a few hours of my life. I didn't like Margo at all and I couldn't really sympathise with Q or his obsession with her.

I did not enjoy this book, I wasn't attached to the characters and I was often annoyed by them. The book is split up in three parts. I didn't not like the first two at all, and it took me over a year to finish that part of the book. But I did enjoy the third part, it even made me laugh a few times. ...

I enjoyed it. The main character is figuring out clues trying to find a girl. Everything is from his point of view. There aren't any major emotional moments, but it's great at just showing you life for the average upper middle class teen these days in an extraordinary storyline. It does refer to...

This is a truly breathtaking novel.When I first started the book, I was a little weary due to Q's fixation on Margo. Great, another book about a boy idolizing a girl beyond personhood. But Green really surprised me with a fantastic glimpse into the human experience, through adolescent eyes. The book...

You can trace growth if you follow Green’s novels in the order they came out. In Alaska, he used literature as a way to live his fantasies. On Stars, he used literature to come to terms with a devastating experience. Paper Towns is a direct response to Alaska. If that one was wish-fulfillment, this ...

Ehhhh, hate to say it but I wasn't really feeling it this time around. It wasn't bad but the ending left me...unsatisfied. I can't see it ending any other way, although I WAS convinced like Q that Margo Alaska'd on us...and yet, meh. Q's adventure on the wildside and the road trip were fun and I lik...

Ah, John Green. The leading author of Young Adult books, it seems. Nothing short of a genius, to be honest. His books always give out a particular message. Paper Towns was written by Green to show that we, as people, romanticise others. We either treat them as Gods or dismiss them as animals (As he ...
