I thought I would give this book a try and at first it was interesting to understand the relationship between Margo and Quentin. However, as the story got on, the plot line died a little - it got slow. Until the third section of the book where Q takes a road trip with his friends.
The ending was a bit of a letdown, I expected more of a meaningful relationship that formed between Margo and Q, but it mainly focused on their past lives and made up stories from 10-year old Margo.
The characters were easy to understand and from it you can see why each and every one of them got on with one another or why did they not. However, the character of Ben can be quite grotesque with the vast amount of sexual and genitalia comments which can make for a difficult read at times, but I see where the author is coming from.

El libro se encuentra separado en 3 partes, en la primera conocemos a los amigos de Quentin y éste ayuda a Margo a realizar su plan de venganza. En la segunda parte, Margo se va de su casa dejando pistas, como siempre, para ver si la encuentran. Quentin y sus amigos intentarán encontrarla antes que sea demasiado tarde. En la última parte, descubrimos si Quentin encuentra a Margo a tiempo o no.
Grafica de una manera excelente el trauma de la adolescencia en el colegio (con todos sus actores) y lo importante y dificil que es ese paso que todos tenemos que dar en la vida cuando llega el último día de clases de la escuela secundaria, donde dejamos de ser chicos para empezar nuestra vida como adultos y todo lo que ello conlleva, aunque en ese momento no solemos darle esa importancia.

I read it several years ago and thought it was good. When I reread it now it went way below my expectations
