John bir insanı nasıl 'sarsacağını' iyi biliyor.
Kitabın sonunda resmen 'sarsıldım' ve ben de şimdi John'u 'sarsmak' istiyorum :D

Not the best John green and not the worst. But really good, as always. Even the least of his books are better team most.

I think this book confirms that I do not like John Green. I really enjoyed Looking for Alaska when I was younger but that was almost five years ago. Now I just don't find his dialogue believable. Or his characters. Ben saying "hunnybunny" every other word drove me insane. Ugh idk I'm just really disappointed with this book and it's making my thoughts all jumbled.

The idea of a paper town is such an interesting one that I felt that's what kept me interested throughout this entire book. The way the characters thought and how all of that revolved around the idea of paper towns.
That said, while very cute with some pretty funny moments, it was also a bit predictable. The argument could be made, however, that being predictable doesn't necessarily ruin the book because a lot of it is about the journey, not the destination.

The ending was an anticlimax but the story written around it was a masterpiece.

Unlike The Fault in our stars, which I had picked up with much trepidation because of its hype, I had picked up Paper Towns with much expectation. I mean once I had read about Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, I picked up each of John Green’s works with expectation of nothing but pure awesomeness, including from M and Q in Paper Towns.
Quentin and Margo have known each other since childhood. They have been neighbours since they can remember and they even attend the same school. Yet they are just barely friends as Quentin is a nerdy nerd and Margo is obviously Miss Popular. Things changed, at least that’s what Q thought, when one night M climbed through his windows asking for his car keys. What that leads to is a night of fun, adventure and getting to know M. Just when Q thought things between him and M were about to develop, he wakes up to find that M is gone. She has left town, leaving everyone clueless about her whereabouts. Well, almost everyone. She has left clues for Q to follow and that leads to another road trip of a lifetime. In the end will Q catch up and find M?
The characters were awesome in the story. Quentin, Ben and Radar as so much fun to get to know. They are the guys everyone would love to hang out with, nerds or not. Their sense of humour is just off the charts. Quentin felt weird at times what with his obsession of Margo. I mean would you miss your graduation for a girl? But he sure knows how to go after what he wants. Margo felt a bit of self-absorbed kind of a girl to me. However, seeing her through Quentin’s eyes, it was just too difficult to not like her at some parts. Also, I was expecting another Hazel-Augustus kind of relationship. So, it was my mistake that I was disappointed by Q & M.
Being the genius that John Green is, he has conveyed a lot through his story and even more with the things that are absent in the story. It is amazing how I enjoyed the story so much while I was reading it, but once I looked back, it feels like an average story. It is John Green’s magical narration that has given life and elevated this average story to another level. Also, a lot of people have told me how they did not enjoy the ending. But for me the ending was as perfect as it could be. I love the story because of its ending.

Eh I found a lot of it pretty boring. The treasure hunt for her clues was kind of fun, and the road trip, especially the pit stop, was fun but I found the rest pretty mediocre.

Typical John Green teen characters - once you've read a novel by Green you've pretty much read them all....
