Paper Towns

I wasn't surprised to find that I couldn't put this book down, since this is exactly what it was like reading The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska. However, I was pretty surprised by the actual plot, and I loved almost every bit of it.

Through his search for Margo, Q not only learns more about her, but he also inadvertently learns a lot about himself and I think it gives him a better look at the world. He reevaluates his friendships and realizes that there's more to people than the eye can see.

Margo, on the other hand, seems a little lost and confused despite the fact that she seems to have it all planned out from childhood. To Q, she was a mystery that he had tried to solve but she didn't want to be discovered. I found her to be a little pretentious at times, but she also has these marvelous plans and pranks, which were rather exciting to read.

I particularly loved the third part of the book; the actual journey. Q and his friends, new and old, each had talents that fit perfectly with the roles needed on the road trip. They're a hilarious bunch, and I wish there was more of their adventures to read.

The actual plot was amazing, but the ending seemed too simple and quite frankly, a little boring compared to the whole novel. I think I would've given it 5/5 if it weren't for the ending, but all in all, it's a great read.
