Review - Paper Towns

A book by John Green.

This is the first John Green book I read. After watching The Fault in Our Stars, I saw an article that they also going to make a movie from John Green's Paper Towns. Fall in love with The Fault in Our Stars, so I bought this book.

A more than 400 pages of book, played by two main character Margo Roth Spiegelman and Quentin Jacobson. They are friends since they were just kids, caught up with a suicide event in a park near their house.

Margo is a beautiful, weird and adventurous girl and one of the famous kids in the school. But Quentin is the geek one, calm and well planned boy. They hardly ever talk to each other again, although they could see each other from their bed room window. Well, I also experience this things, when friends somehow become stranger without any reason.

One day, Margo ask Quentin to accompanied her in an adventure, they revenge some people who treat them badly, friends who stab them in the back and old enemies. This part is so exciting, I wish I could do it to some people! Margo planned everything carefully, and finish the adventure in Sea World. It was a great night for both of them, one of the best memories you will never forget in your entire youth life.

Then, Margo disappear, nobody knows where she is. Quentin, helped by two of his best friends tries every way to find and locate her, but couldn't find her. They searched empty building, subdivisions, everywhere, and still couldn't find her.

This is one of the quotes in the book. It reminds you that when you think you know someone, but actually you're not. Then you're spending your time guessing and wondering why they were not the way they were supposed to be.

This book is interesting, simple, but still touch deep enough to create questions in your mind and heart. Though the story is about young adult, but I still love how John Green put the words in each scene.

I also wanted to watch how Cara Delevigne plays Margo Roth Spiegelman. It's going to be interesting, though I kinda hope Emma Watson to plays the role.

I give this book 3/5 stars! I give the last quotes below, because I know, we always attracted to some people and decided to be around them. No coincidence.
