Paper Towns by John Green
3.0

We all know I'm an official member of the John Green stalkarazzi, but I have to be honest because that's what I do. Even when it's uncomfortable. Even when it hurts a little. And maybe it's that I read TFIOS before reading Paper Towns that I didn't love this Green read as much as TFIOS, but that's the way it is.
I love the premise, but I never liked Margo. But then again, I'm not convinced she is ever supposed to be likable, but it still bothers me. Slightly.
I get it I get it I get it. She is gorgeous and that is why Q likes her, but it's because of this outward appearance that she feels like a *spoiler* paper girl. But that just isn't enough for me, and frankly, it kind of pisses me off that she wants to recreate not only herself, but also Q.
Now, I can't say this book is not worth the time - I read it in two days - but I could not connect with this book as much as TFIOS.
Well. On to other reads. I think Looking for Alaska will be next on the tour.
