While John Green is notorious for his writing of epic teenage love stories, Paper Towns doesn’t fall into that category unless you count the beauty of the friendship between Quentin and his two friends, Ben and Radar. But the journey that Quentin (AKA “Q”) is sent on isn’t just about finding Margo or what might happen when (or even, if) he finds her - it’s about how this quest brings him closer to those closest to him. While the hunt for Margo after she disappears calls for some pretty interesting turn of events, the ending is not as satisfying as it could have been. Honestly, compared to the other novels that John Green has produced ( The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska), this one falls a bit short in terms of storytelling. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew…” But Q soon learns that there are clues-and they’re for him. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery.
So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life-dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge-he follows.
Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar.
