Today's actually review, number 11, for the 11th day (no really?) is about Paper Towns by John Green.
Our story starts in Jefferson Park, Orlando with Quentin "Q" Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman, friends since childhood. However, as is usual for friends who've been that way for a while, they, inevitably, begin to grow apart. That is, until 1 night when they are both in high school and Margo enlists Q's help to get revenge on those who've done her wrong. Margo tells Quentin about her theory about the "Paper Towns" towns that are so fake they're not even plastic fake, they're just paper, they have not substance (or very little substance).
One day, Margo runs away, trying to escape the Paper Towns and find somewhere real. Quentin goes after her, deciphering her cryptic clue trail that only he understands, along the way. Will he find Margo? Do they find somewhere that's real? Read on to find out.
I did supremely enjoy this book. I found it delightful, intriguing and suspenseful all at once, I say 9.99/10 if not 10/10. I'm not purposefully being cryptic here but I want to post no spoilers...also, there is to be a Paper Towns movie, starring Nat Wolff (Isaac from The Fault in Our Stars). As with all books that are turned into movies, I suggest reading the books first as they almost always differ in major aspect and that can be frustrating for those who've read the book because you know they've changed bits and left bits out but at the same time, you know what's supposed to happen so when you go back and read the book again your mind fills in the gaps automatically.
Anther amazing read from John Green. I'll see you tomorrow for another review, until then, keep reading, writing and reviewing!
