John Green’s book, Paper Towns takes place in Florida in which Quentin Jacobsen, a smart, loving and determined young man also is the narrator of the book, is the “good student” in the story. He has been in love with a girl for many years. Margo Spiegelman, Q’s neighbor is socially different than Q which means she is one of the popular kids, the cool kid in high school. Her looks can be deceiving meaning she acts different in school and with Q, someone she actually trusts. She is intelligent, loves mysterious and wise in a way. Ben along with Radar are Quentin’s best friends. Ben is Q’s friend mostly due to the fact that they were both at the same social scale in high school. He is the type of person that is fascinated by the little things. …show more content…
He decides to find answers or any type of clues on why she had left without no explanation.Throughout the story, Q and with the help of his friends try to find clues that Margo would have left behind for him. By the ending of the story the problem was solved and it was the perfect ending for the story even if it was a little disappointing. I was surprised that Margo didn 't go for the other choice which could have been the best for her.
Overall this book was captive. What caught my attention the most was the way Q was persistent even if at times he wanted to give up on solving the problem he was always lead to trying to find Margo one way or another. Paper Towns did meet my expectations it was entertaining to read this book and think what would happen next. At first, I Wondered why the author didn’t write about Margo making the other decision, why pick the sad ending but then I realized, that it was a better ending the way he described it.
I would recommend this book to others because in my point of view, I like how it has many plot twists throughout the story and it gets you thinking every time. I Would recommend this book to people who like to read about love stories as well as mysterious type of books. After reading this book, I’ll most likely read something with less love in a
The book has many characters with very different personalities. The book has unexpected twists and turns throughout it. The novel involves kidnappers, a dragon and (of course) the 5 children from Miami that know nothing about what they’re getting into. This book started out as, a fairly normal story.

This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
“Paper Towns” is a story that is all about adventure, and therefore has a quest as the main (advancer) in the story. It results in the loss of innocence while pushing boundaries during the exciting time of adolescence. It possesses all of the five key elements of a quest as stated in “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” by Thomas C. Foster. It starts with (a), a quester, which is in this case the main character Quentin, the protagonist of the story. Then (b), a place to go, which ends up being Agloe, NY.
this book is simply amazing. the entire writing style is on point and smooth throughout the story. the plot thickens and is left with a nice cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more. Throughout the entire book, the author, Linda Crew, is very detailed in her feelings and just her writing in general.
In Paper Towns by John Green, Quentin, A teenager, try’s to find his secret crush Margo. One night Margo takes Quentin to get revenge on her cheating boyfriend without causing an altercation.

It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and
This was a very interesting book and I love it. I would recommend more kids to read
It is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.
I would recommend this book to any teenage girl who won’t mine wasting tissues for tears and will not mine getting angry at characters. I would recommend this book to a teenage girl because of all of the romance and usually boy aren’t in to those things. If you are up for the challenge, I will recommend this book to you. All I have to say if you decide to read this novel, fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride through a page-turning journey, the loops the author puts you threw from her described word choice and the swift pace you’re put on by the
Persuasion is also a book about love lost and reclaimed through much pain and sorrow. The plot is detailed and riveting, and the characters grow and change. In my humble opinion, this is a book of wonders! Filled not only with love but with hope, I would recommend this to whomever would like to read a timeless novel about love and friendship. I believe that love is not possible if there is no hope, as hope is what paves the road for love.
Quentin is determined to find her, and he figures out the new meaning of “paper towns”. “...Leaves of Grass. I read a little from the introduction and then paged through the book. There were several quotes highlighted in blue... And there were two lines from the poem highlighted in green”
