I also liked Quentin's friends, Radar and Ben. You can easily see how this could get annoying, especially since everyone else had their own problems to deal with. At times, I felt that Margo expected everyone to admire and fawn over her. However, I did not like how she had this air of self-importance.
I liked how she was adventurous and crazy. I liked Margo, too, but at times she could get really annoying. Quentin learned things about Margo that would negatively change anyone's opinion on her, but he continued to love her and look for her until the very end. He wasn't the average literary hero with no faults, but he sure as hell tried to be. Quentin was amazing! He was the typical awkward teenage boy. What really made the book was the characters. Being in band myself, I thoroughly enjoyed everything he wrote about band and the band life. He knew about the grocery store chain (Publix) and the band obsession that has infested this peninsula. Green was dead-on! I laughed out loud while reading about the cookie cutter houses and paper people in central Florida. So, I know what these environments are supposed to be like. I currently live in central Florida and am actually from New York City. One of the most surprising aspects I found in the novel was the setting. I myself connected with this strategy since I usually laugh in tense situations. It made everything feel a little more realistic. There would be very heavy topics and conversations between the characters and then someone would just crack a joke. I appreciated this and thought that the two balanced each other out perfectly. Not only is his book hilarious, but it is very profound as well. I was super excited to read one of Green's books, and I was not disappointed one bit! It was all that I thought it would be and more! How one man can be so philosophical in a modern age where everything and anything has already been pondered blows my mind. Review: John Green, I bow down to you! Paper Towns is a hilarious book, with an amazing and thought provoking story.
Through the many subdivisions in central Florida, Quentin heads off on an epic quest to find the girl who cannot be found. Quentin is convinced that Margo specifically left him clues, clues that will lead to her whereabouts. But this time is different, at least it is for Quentin. Besides, Margo has disappeared before, and she has always comes back fine. No one is really concerned about her disappearance besides Q, because that's what Margo is-a mystery, a free spirit. The day following Q and Margo's adventurous night, Margo goes missing. That is, until Margo recruits her childhood friend, Quentin, for her immaculate scheme of revenge. Her rise to popularity in high school leaves Quentin admiring her from afar. To Sum It Up: It has been years since Quentin Jacobsen last spoke with the love of his life, Margo Roth Spiegelman.
