I have now finished Paper Towns and I love it even more now! The ending is great and ties everything up nicely, although it is not the best bit of the book. I prefer the beginning.
Paper Towns is set in Florida and is about the geeky, boring Quentin and the popular, unpredictable girl next door Margo, who he is in love with. Margo is not the girl people think she is. She is not satisfied with her life of High School, Boys and Clothes. She feels it is fake, like the whole of Florida are living fake, paper lives and spending so much time planning for the future that they don't live today. So, she decides to leave, and goes out on an all night road trip of revenge with Quentin to deal with her enemies before walking out on her life.
However, she has left a trail for Quentin to follow. To decipher it, he must first work out- Who is the real Margo? This book is about him fully discovering the girl he has known but never really understood for as long as he can remember. It makes you think about life's big questions as well as thinking about your own life. Meanwhile, it will also make you laugh out loud, as Q's friends are really funny.
I recommend it to any teen, boy or girl, especially ones who are questioning what they are doing with their life.
