Paper Towns by John Green

Paper Towns by John Green
 Summary: When Margo Roth Spiegelman beckons Quentin Jacobsen in the middle of the night—dressed like a ninja and plotting an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows her. Margo’s always planned extravagantly, and, until now, she’s always planned solo. After a lifetime of loving Margo from afar, things are finally looking up for Q . . . until day breaks and she has vanished. Always an enigma, Margo has now become a mystery. But there are clues. And they’re for Q.

Review: This was my first John Green book and I picked it because I liked how the plot sounded and people raved about all of his books, but boy was I disappointed! I didn't really enjoy any of the characters and the plot kept going in circles for me and it ended with a conclusion that fell quite flat for me. I enjoyed the road trip part of the book but since it didn't last too long and it wasn't a major part of the book I couldn't rated the book any higher than a 2.5. 

The biggest flaw in the book was Margo Speigelman, this girl does not seem to care about anyone but herself. I didn't care about why she was screwed up or how she got that way. I really didn't understand why anyone would want to be friends with her or do any of the things she did with Q and to top it all off was the ending of the book and Q's reaction.

Overall, I regretted reading Paper Towns because it was really the worst book I have read in years but I won't give up on John Green just yet. 2.5/5 Stars
