Paper Towns by John Green
4.0
It's a very easy reading that I have enjoyed quite a lot but I have been unable to forget the flaws I saw while reading.
I thought it kind of difficult to connect with the characters at first and its mainly because Margo is such an unrealistic character! I get the point of it and it's explained in the later pages but it still kept me incredulous for a long part of the story. I find it a shame that the story of who Margo really is isn't more detailed, especially her relationship with her parents. Also I found the development of Lacey's character quite unlikely, and don't believe one bit that Margo was this kind of queen that ruled over the school and when she's gone everybody is unleashing their douchey side.
But overall it's far from a bad novel and I enjoyed reading it. I guess, keeping in mind the only other Green novel I read which is The fault in our stars, that the man specialises in *very unlikely* characters doing *very unlikely* things and maybe it's the point of what he does. Saying that, I'm raising my note from 3 to 4, because it can't be a flaw in itself if it's well written and I think the story was well told. I just didn't believe in some of the *very unlikely* things.
