Green, John. Paper Towns. New York: Dutton, 2008. Print.

In this novel Paper Towns, John Green explains about the adventure of a boy named Quentin Jacobsen (or simply Q), that searches for the girl he has loved growing up, Margo Roth Spiegelman. The story portrayed a curious tone considering the entire book is about Q looking for Margo and where she had disappeared to. Paper Towns is mixed between the genre of comedy and mystery. This is because throughout the story of trying hard to find Margo's whereabouts, there was always a hint of comedy relief mixed in. I felt that the book was interesting enough to keep me reading, but not necessarily a book to remember and discuss later on. It was entertaining(with very engrossing parts) for the time being, yet very forgettable. I usually enjoys John Green's writing style (as i did in this book); it was funny, different, and exhilarating. I would rate it 7/10.

The books sounds like a good read when you want some leisure time. It sounds like a cute love story with an interesting plot twist. I feel it would be very interesting to see if Q ever finds Margo, and if he does what will happen next. I also enjoy that there is a touch of comedy because that would lighten the mood on anything upsetting happening through out the book.

I remember reading this book and it was pretty good in my opinion. Some parts felt slow but then some weren't so bad, since the comedy was added in. I felt like the ending though was a bit unsatisfying.
