Paper Towns Final

I finished the book, Paper Towns, this week. It was amazing and the ending tricked me up a little. I did not expect it to end the way it did at all, but I don't want to ruin it for you. I enjoyed this book more than The Fault in Our Stars because of the way it was written. Also, I didn't really know what was going to happen in this book, giving me an incentive to read it quicker. 

The main character, Q, reminded me of the song, Smile, by Uncle Kracker. His reaction to everything Margo did reminded me of the chorus of this song. I attached the entire song in the link below:

The chorus is: 
You make me smile like the sun,
Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record,
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

This reminds me of Q and his relationship with Margo because everything she does makes him happy and smile. 

The next book I am going to read is the sequel to If I Stay, by Gayle Forman, There She Went. I have already read the first book and seen the movie. I am excited to read the next book and see if what I think happened will happen in the book.

Paper Towns #2

Wow. I've read so much in Paper Towns since my last blog post. A lot has happened, but I don't want to give too much away. Okay, so in my last post I was talking about how Margo and Q were pulling an all-nighter. During this all-nighter, the two go to different places getting revenge are Margo's "enemies"; her now ex-boyfriend, the girl he was cheating on her with, and  a few others. After the getting revenge, they break into sea world. The next day, Margo is gone. She had disappeared and even Q didn't know where she was. Q goes on to search for clues on her whereabouts and tries to figure out what happened and if she had committed suicide.

That's all I am going to leave you with because I don't want to give anything else away. John Green has done a fantastic job keeping my attention through out the book. I think his writing style has really kept me intrigued. This book is written in first person. By writing in first person, it helps the reader, especially me, connect with the character. It feels like they are telling a story just to me. The diction and syntax in this book is also at a higher level. It uses many complex sentences and high vocabulary words. It makes me think about what is being said.


I have high hopes on what the rest of the book will be about. I keep asking myself different questions like, "Where is Margo?" "Why doesn't Q do this/or that?". It makes me anxious just thinking about what's going to happen and when it will happen. I usually don't read books like this, mystery, but I really enjoy it and want to read more mystery once I finish this one.
