Paper Towns by John Green
4.0
It's not even hard enough to be made of plastic. It's a paper town. - Margo
This book is not easily grasped since it is full of metaphors, poetry, clues and underlying statements. I didn't quite understand what the titles "The Strings", "The Grass" and "The Vessel" meant until the very end. They are all metaphors for people. After I read this book, I didn't immediately catch it's whole concept but as I thought about it a little more, somehow I understood. I understood that people are relatively different, and yet somehow still the same. We will never completely understand someone because sometimes the way we look at or see people is not really how they are but how we perceive them. And that I think is the best lesson here: that we allow others, especially ourselves, to be REAL.
