Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life--dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge--he follows.
After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues--and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.
Printz medalist John Green returns with the brilliant wit and searing emotional honesty that have inspired a new generation of readers.
Enigmatic Margo is dramatically captured in a unique dual-cover treatment.
So, I liked Looking for Alaska. And I really liked An Abundance of Katherines. But I LOVED Paper Towns.
I wish I could fully explain the awesomeness of this book...but I can't. But let's sum it up:
John Green = Funny, 
My bookmark = A Tablet of Brightly Colored Mini Post Its Meant for Tabbing
Goal = Tab Funny Things with Brightly Colored Mini Post Its
Book by Time I Finished Reading = A Rainbow
I'll try to get a picture, but basically there were SO many funny parts to this book, my copy now has a rainbow stick out of it. xD
I will say that Margo is insanely selfish. But, I don't blame her. We're all a little bit selfish at times and sometimes we just need to be selfish for a while.
But honestly, go read this book. Then go get his other books and read those too.

Don't worry - I've never read this book, so you weren't alone...but I guess I am now! I'll have to read it :)
ReplyDeleteI love Paper Towns too! John Green is the only guy author that writes about guys, in a guy's P.O.V.
ReplyDeleteHe's so hilarious!!! I love it when they're in the car driving to "save" Margo :D
SPOILER:
Remember the peeing in the bottles?
GOD, yes Kirthi. That whole section. So many brightly colored tabs.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a funny read :-)
ReplyDeleteI've somehow never read ANYTHING by John Greene. This sounds so great. I've really got to remedy that, I think!
ReplyDeleteI love John Green. This book was so funny!!! I think I read the majority of this book twice because everytime I got to a funny part I absolutely had to read it out loud to someone. It also made them laugh. I can't wait to read more of his books!!!
ReplyDelete***Remember his birthday present...LOL***
I agree that this book was awesome! Normally I can't read a book for longer than about two hours at a time, but I read this in one 5-hour sitting - I just couldn't put it down!
ReplyDeleteGreat review format :)
