It was an amazing idea and I enjoyed reading it although I wouldn't say I 'zipped' through it. I got stuck at some parts for it got too slow for me but that may just be me! Good overall, though.

This was a book that has been on my bookshelf for as long as I could remember. I chose it randomly out of lots of other little bits of paper in bag. I was very excited to read this story…
Unfortunately, my excitement died halfway through. This is definitely a good read for those who enjoy mystery but in my opinion I wasn’t a fan. It was written well but I feel it took a very long time to get to the answer we wanted, where is Margo and is she still alive?
I’m glad I read this book as it gave me the chance to read something which wasn’t my usual genre (YA, Fantasy and Romance/Rom-Com) I gave this book three out of five stars as I did enjoy it but I feel it took too long to get to the end

This is my second John Green book and since my first was TFIOS I had high hopes and this just did not live up to them.

I LOVE JOHN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like that this book is sort of a character book which is a nice change from some other teen fiction I've been reading lately. I am a nerdfighter but whether or not that makes me biased paper towns is awesome so far so if you're reading this go read paper towns and DFTBA

What i like about the book:
- John Greens way of telling the story, which makes it entertaining and forced you to think about things you may have never noticed before in life
- The whole trip they do to find Margo. It had the right amount of absurdity.
- The fact that the author makes clear that none of his characters is perfect and the protagonist begins realizing that hes not perfect either.
- Margos character makes good points sometimes.
- Small little things that add depth to the characters, little the black santa claus collection.
Things i did not like about the book:
- The Main protagonist is too obsessed with Margo (and dont tell me its love because he doesnt even know her) His friends, who were the Biggest nerds in higschool suddenly turn into party animals.
- Margo puts more time into letting her neighbour know where she is than into figuring out what shes gonna of once shes escaped
- Margo did nothing for her friends. Ever. She even used them and treated them badly. But they still insist on Finding her.
- Once they find Margo, nothing is really solved and its quite disappointing
- This book is too similar to looking for Alaska (Nerdy boy is into selfish strange popular girl and tries to find out what happened to her after shes gone)
-sometimes you feel like nothings happening
However, it is quite an entertaining book and i was happy with it
