Paper Towns by John Green | A Review

Paper Towns by John Green | A Review

    This is the second book by John Green that I've read in about a week and a half. I'd never read any of John Green's books previously, but obviously had heard rave reviews. Needless to say, they've been living up to the hype. 

    The thing I loved about Paper Towns is all the adventure, and the dialogue, and the funny banter. It's all very real. It also puts you on a bit of an emotional roller coaster, which just adds to the heaviness of the overall story line. You don't even realize that you're reading something with a heavy kind-of moral value until you're sitting there, having finished the book and think back on it. 

    I absolutely love how a lot of the book is based around Q, the main character, learning that you have to see people for who they are, not who you've made them up to be in your head. You have to accept what's on the inside, right in front of you. I think that's a really important thing to touch on that a lot of people could learn from. 

    John Green's books never seem to end the way you'd want them to. But I guess that makes the story even more real, because life never does really turn out exactly how you had planned. So I guess that makes it okay.
