Paper Towns by John Green
5.0
Well first, lets name some of the things I was disappointed about:
1. As much as I would love to disagree with the john-green-haters, it is similar to Looking for Alaska and apparently An Abundance of Katherines (I have yet to read it, but it is next on my list).
2. The ending (although great) was just sad. I get from an authors point of view that it had to happen but it seemed to unlike her to promise to call because i dont think she will.
Now the good parts:
1. *see number one on disappointments* I don't mind that it is similar to Looking for Alaska because it makes them seem so real. LFA is one of my favorite books because of the main characters. Alaska/Margo are spunky and rude and I love it. I am tired of the main, cool characters being boys. Miles/Q are awkward and nerdy and I love that because most guys are not portrayed like that. so 10/10 for characters
2. I loved the portrayal of the van being like a house because it made the characters seem more like family
3. The parents are so nerdy and so unaware of their surroundings that it makes it seem so real because most parents, in one way or another, are like this.
Overall, another great book.
