This book was a bunch of surprises stringed together, morphed into words, and compacted into paper; if I am making any sense. "She loved mysteries so much she became one." I think that is one of the best quotes from the book, but then again, the book itself may as well be the longest and best quote ever. (it's probably also one of the best because it's on the book cover.) "All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm." Now THAT'S the most awesome quote EVER. Back to my point : I loooove this book because while I can't really relate to the characters, the plot and the way John Green's words strings together and wraps around my mind is AMAZING. This book is one of those where you sit down, read, and doesn't stand up until the book is finished. The book is about Margo Roth Spiegelman, who comes through Quentin's window one night and takes him along on an all-night revenge scheme. She dissapears the next day and leaves Quentin clues to where she is. Then Quentin, along with Ben, Radar, and Lacey, sets out to find the awesome Margo Roth Spiegelman, embarking (it seems like the wrong word to use but still) on a spectacular journey. (Dear Mr. John Green, SECOND BOOK?)

This is my favorite mystery book of all time. I love John Greens' character development and how doesn't give you flat boring charcters, but charcters that seem like real people with multiple layers of charcter inside them. I also loved the theme of the story and most of all: Margo. John Green has created my new favorite character EVER
So far it is a great mystery. So if you like mystery books trust me this is a book for you. It make you want to read it more. After each chapter you fell like you need to read more and if you like John Green then trust me this is one of his best books ever.
It was ah mazing
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING READ IT.
Overall, Paper Towns is a novel that’s extremely interesting. There are two parts that I enjoyed about this book. One of them is when they spent the whole night together and pranked others. The other part that I liked is when Quentin and his friend when on the road trip. I believe that the strength of this book is how the author describe their feelings. While I’m reading the book, I can know what the characters feel perfectly because of the author’s detailed description. I don’t feel like there’s any weaknesses in this novel since I loved it really much. If I have the chance to recommend books to others, this will certainly be one of the novels that I’ll recommend.
Paper Towns is incredible! It’s about two people who hung out a lot when they were kids but gradually began to drift apart until they finally stopped talking to each other. Quentin is a boy with a shy nature while Margo Roth Spiegelman is more outgoing yet mysterious. Although a lot of people dislike Margo because of her unreliable personality, I can actually relate to her (she doesn’t feel like anyone really understands her) so she’s my favorite character in the book. I also like the book because there’s a lot of deep quotes in there, such as “You have to get lost before you find yourself.” I seriously wish I could change the ending, though, because I don’t really like the anti-climatic ending. I would totally recommend this book to John Green lovers. Mystery lovers would also love to read this book.
I think that this book was amazing!!! I think that John Green is an amazing author! I read the Fault in our Stars and loved it also. I have to say that Margo was not my favorite character, but go TEAM QUENTIN! I also think that you should be at least 13 before you read this book because of some of the content. I have yet to watch the movie, but I have a feeling it will be fantastic! I do recommend to read the book before you watch the movie, so you will understand everything that happens! LOVE THIS BOOK!

Right now I am in the middle of reading Paper Towns by John Green. The characters, Quentin and Margo, go through an incredible journey for revenge. I am excited to continue reading this book and anxious to see what happens next.
I loved this book. But I hate Margo. Margo was troubled and didn't care when Q found her. TEAM BEN!!! This book is NOT AT ALL like the movie and this is rated PG.
