Book Review : Paper Towns.

Paper Towns had been long pending in my books-to-read list. So, I sat down and read it last week. Paper Towns is coming of age novel by John Green which revolves around the story of a high school boy, Quentin, whose life revolves around the mysterious, cool kid and his neighbor, Margo Roth Spiegelman. Everything is sailing smooth in Quentin’s life until one night Margo pops up in his room and asks him for a car ride. They embark on an adventurous and exciting night travel completing Margo’s eleven tasks for the evening. Quentin starts to believe that he is getting to know Margo better since their last mysterious encounter in Jefferson Park at the age of 9. Margo Roth Spiegelman disappears from Orlando the next day. Margo was known for her runaways, adventures and her vague clues on her whereabouts but Quentin believed that this time Margo left the clues for him to follow and join her or just find her. What follows next is Quentin doing everything he can to find Margo which results in him discovering himself and Margo; going on the best road trip of his life with his friends and understanding what Margo meant about Paper Towns.
Written in first person this book is funny, endearing and beautiful in its own way. Its illuminates the thin line between fiction and reality. You get to discover this whole new side of Quentin who was just considered a mediocre kid and his character develops tremendously as the book progresses. The book has its ups and downs depending on how much you don’t mind high school drama. I like Margo’s character and her whole perspective on life, especially her thoughts on Paper Towns. A character like Margo is present in each of our lives with a notch down on the runaways or maybe not. The mysterious- social bird-adventurous-happy go lucky kind of character who gives a false impression that you know them but in reality you don’t. Did that sentence even make sense? o.O Anyways, the book takes you through a whole comical and exciting journey where you question about life in general and what the hell  is one doing with their precious days as a youth. If you are enjoying and last of the high school days and making the most of it, Good job. If you aren’t, well, wake up you fool! Wait. Exams are either going on or to start in a few days so study for it and make the most of it after the exams! XD I liked the book and it did make me smile at the end. I would recommend the book if you want to read a light book during a travel or just kill boredom or love John Green. XD I would like conclude with quote from the book: "It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined. "
I guess that's it for now. Until next time. Bye. :)
