Before I start, I have to ask: does John Green have some kind of fetish about long names? In The Fault in Our Stars, the main character is Hazel Grace Lancaster. In this one, it's Margo Roth Spiegelman... I don't know, but I see some kind of recurring pattern over here. 

My 3/5 rating is rather generous. I know they say to never judge a book by its cover, but you should definitely judge this book by its cover. The cover isn't anything special, and trust me, neither is this book.

Assuming that you've all seen the trailer, you all kind of know what's going to happen in the movie, and it's basically the same thing as in the book. (By the way, I refused to see the movie, so if it happens to be different, then my bad.) Margo is adventurous and mysterious, and whenever she runs off, she leaves some clues behind. You never really know what she's up to. Her friends don't seem to know her so well, and obviously her parents don't care so much either.

The last the she runs off, however, she asks for Quentin's help for a night of paybacks, and runs off the next day. I think you've all guessed that Quentin is madly in love with the girl (good job!), but then again, he's known her most of his life. When Margo doesn't show up at school the next day, and then the next week, Quentin gathers all the clues he can find – which were left for him after he helped her – and starts looking for her.

The first thing I thought was: Quentin has no life. It annoyed me how he easily could drop everything just to go look for a girl he hadn't even been friend with in years. He failed to keep his perfect class attendance, he missed graduation, and he skipped prom, all because of a girl he doesn't really know. And it also annoyed me when he would shut his friends down because he wasn't interested in what they had to say about their girlfriends or about prom, but when it came to him, he had to be the center of the world. Quentin is the most selfish character I've ever known.

I don't have much to say about Margo because you don't really get to know her, but the book would've been much better if 1. she'd been dead, or 2, she'd actually wanted Quentin to find her. (If you've read the book, you know what I just did there!) The book ends with Quentin traveling all the way from Florida to the state of New York, where he obviously finds her. Unlike what he originally thought, however, Margo never wanted to be found. Seriously? A whole just for that? And yeah, they do end up kissing and promising each other to call and all, but 1. they don't know each other, and 2. I'm sure that if there was a sequel, we'd find out that they never actually spoke again. (Lists are in reference of the book, in case you don't get it, and they were also very annoying.)

The whole book just wasn't that good, and I don't understand why they would do such a big deal about it. Fine, The Fault In Our Stars was an absolute success, but Paper Towns isn't nearly as good. I've read much better novels in the same genre and I don't think I'll read another John Green novel again.
