Paper Towns : Viewing People in a Different Light.

"Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved myseries so much that she became one."
Now, once again, this isn't what I'm currently reading, but I like to review a different book each week. I'm still reading Suite Scarlett. Read what I wrote about it down there.
But, this work of art is so good it took me forever just to find a quote, because all of the book is just that amazing.
Paper Towns is the twisted tale of two very different people that were once childhood friends, but slowly drifted apart after both found a man dead in the park on a playdate. Soon, they became very different people as they moved on to bigger and better things, like the tremendously terrifying walk over hot coals called High School. Margo, now the pretty and popular girl of the school had become a mystery to those around her. No one really had an idea about what she was really like, not even her friends. Then there's Ben, the band geek and all around nice guy, and he's been chosen to solve the mystery of Margo. Many hilarious things soon ensue that involve beer kegs, the world's largest balls, and the world's largest collection of Black Santa's.
John Green, the writer of this book, is amazing. I've gone to see him with a friend of mine, and have my copy of Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines signed by him. (He has terrible handwriting.) But, he's also the other half of the vlogbrothers. If you're heard of them, you're officially amazing, and if you haven't, go here www.youtube.com/vlogbrothers and check them out.
This book is actually a little raunchy, so I suggest this to anyone who has parents that approve! ;D

  1. I like your idea of reviewing books, because if you have nothing to blog about on the book your reading, you can just do this!
