Book Talk Review; Paper Towns

 Another fantastic novel by the amazing John Green

 

 Who is the real Margo?

 Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar.

 So when she cracks open a window and climbs 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 the girl he thought he knew...

 This is my third John Green book, and it is amazing the the other ones. 

 John's writing is something unique altogether, the complexity of his books really digs you in deep to the center of life and love and has you questioning what it is all about. And it's not like he uses complex story structure and phrases that really make you think, it's the way that he uses them, the way that he phrases his words and sentences that really get you. 

 This book is life. It gets you to look at different perspectives of life and how one person can be something totally different to different people, and how you really don't know someone like you think you do. 

 Q and Margo haven't been friends for years, since she is one of those cool girls who have friends and boyfriends and the popular life. While Q is the boy who isn't in band but he hangs out with the band members. 

 Then one night Margo climbs into his window for the adventure of a life time and the ultimate plot of revenge. 

 Margo takes Q on this quest around town in the middle of the night, and it opens up his mind and his heart to the girl he has always loved and to something more outside his normal life. 

 When their adventure ends and a new day dawns Q is left with a feeling of peace and also uneasiness. After all that they did together he feels content with their friendship but also Margo leaves an uneasy feeling with her cryptic words and actions. 

 But when Margo disappears it's not at all what Q was expecting. 

 Margo has taken off before, but this time is different...

 Margo has been known to leave clues for her parents about where she's gone, but not this time. This time she left them for Q.

 As Q and his friends race trying to fond out what they mean and what has happened to Margo they also get ready for one of the biggest journey's of their lives. Graduation. 

 After many roads taken and dead-ended they find something that leads them straight to Margo. Straight to the girl they don't know anything about. 

 The book is structured into Three parts. Each part explores a different mentality on what life and death is. It is very interesting to see how one persons perspective on life can be different than another persons perspective. 

 It makes you think about your life and how you view that. It makes you see things in a different way than the others.

 I fell in love with the characters in this book, I fell in love with the mystery of this book. There were so many moments where I had to laugh out loud at all the stupid things that the characters said or did. It was hilarious. 

 I can't wait to read another amazing John Green book. He is my new obsession.

 *Quote- "We Play the broken string of our instruments one last time” - Q

               "The fundamental mistake I had always made - and that she had, in fairness, always led me to make - was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.” - Q
