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 closed he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.....
My favorite quote, "At some point, you gotta stop looking up at the sky, or one of these days you'll look back down and see that you floated away, too."
I gotta say that I love this book more than 'Looking for Alaska'. Even though the thorough story is about finding Margo, but it's ok! I enjoy every minute I read page by page. I mean, c'mon John Green! I always loved the way you write the whole stories of your books. Green is like a-nerd-wizard-that-could-suprise-your-ass-out, 'Paper Towns' suprises me because I thought Q & Margo have some magical adventure together, but the fact they haven't. And also, the humors in this book is totally shitsickers, man! Ben, Radar, and Lacey are the bestest friends of the century. xoxo

I liked this book, but in a lot of areas, it was lacking. I feel as if the beginning was a completely different story to the end.
I enjoyed the mystery solving aspect, but when that died down I felt my love for the book die down as well, I really enjoyed the road trip, although it was far too short.
The characters saved the book for me, they were realistic, without becoming dull or bland, but I didn't expect any different from John Green after reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson. His writing style is easy to read and flows excellently. If the plot wasn't lacking this would have easily been a five-star for me, but all that said, I recommend to someone looking for a more lighthearted contemporary.

This is one of the rare books where I enjoyed the author's writing style more than I enjoyed the actual story (I find myself in the opposite position much more frequently). John Green is good at writing a fun, light hearted story. And I did have fun while I was reading this book. But I found the characters to range from annoying to outright infuriating at times. The main female character is often wildly unreasonable, and I feel this book is definitely marketed towards teens who have a fantasy of running away or escaping from their life for a while. Overall, it was a quick and enjoyable read if you have a few hours to kill and can keep yourself healthily removed from the plot and just enjoy the ride.
Hands down one of the best books I've read. As I was finishing it I got the sensation that I will be re-reading this book again and again. It's a feeling very rare to me since I want to finish all the books in the world (or at least the ones I own).

Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon (and I liked it!). This was an interesting book, to say the least, and I had an interesting time reading it. I find it intriguing that Green into three parts, because the different parts actually really effected my enjoyment of the book - while I enjoyed Part 1, and really liked (most of) Part 3, I found Part 2 really really boring. It was an important part, in terms of furthering the plot of the novel, but I just didn't really find myself interested in it. Which was a shame, because I really quite enjoyed the rest of the novel - especially the road trip (I love that trope!).
Still, this was an enjoyable book and yet another example of why John Green is so popular! (Although I still prefer [b:An Abundance of Katherines|49750|An Abundance of Katherines|John Green|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1360206426s/49750.jpg|48658])

Utterly fabulous. I loved this even more than TFIOS. John Green is truly an amazing, intuitive, fascinating author. Reading this was the best hour and a half I've spent in a while!
