עוד ספר יפה של ג'ון , אך פחות יפה משאר ספריו
הסרט היה גרוע לחלוטין והספר היה הרבה יותר טוב

Nicht so gut wie "Das Schicksal ist ein mieser Verräter", dennoch aufgrund seiner Charaktere sehr lesenswert!

Cute! I liked this book and the way it flowed! It feels like it was written for my high school self but it also felt relevant and good to read today as an adult.
The book starts off with the discovery of a dead body. Margo and Quentin, who are about 9/10 years old come across the body of a neighbor who kills themselves after going through a divorce. Now fast forward 8 years, Margo and Quentin are seniors in high school about to graduate. While close as kids, they’ve grown distant as teens with Margo becoming the typical popular kid while Quentin became a bit of a dork. However during a night of practical pranks, they rekindle their friendship and just as Quentin thinks everything is about to change (for the better), Margo disappears. The story then becomes about Quentin’s search for Margo, his love and childhood friend.
I loved the metaphors and progression of the story. It was simple yet beautifully written. This is my first John Green novel and a good one at that - 4 stars!

So since of recent I have adopted a new hobby: Reading Maps. Now not only is it a life skill, it also highlights how small we are and how big the world out there is.
This book cultivated my already existing love for maps.
John Green has always knows to hit the philosophical POV of things. Its one of many characteristics that makes his writing so.... Unique. This book, includes characters that almost anyone can relate to and moments in life that we have all passed through.
What Margo Roth Spiegelman says and how she thinks makes us and Quentin re-evaluate everything about life. Why we are here, what is our purpose and makes you realize to live in the moment and not for the future. Everything she does and what unfolds after sees; incredibly unlikely parings, rebellious behaviour from Quentin and his best friends Ben and Radar who are the poster-boys for "WELL-BEHAVED STUDENTS" and also A ROADTRIP which is so hilarious.
What makes this book even better is the hilarious quips, easy language, rather vivid descriptions of every moment, relatable thoughts of the characters and fast paced writing. And the PAPER TOWN aspect of the whole book puts forward two meanings; one with heavy literary depth and the other with a surface definition.
NGL, after I finished the book, the first thing I did was watch the movie. And it gave me the roadtrip that I wanted from the book but not an accurate ending.
As of now, PAPER TOWNS is my second favourite John Green book.
