Paper Towns by John Green
2.0
This book was very readable, I got through it quickly enough, but I wasn't a huge fan. Basically, I think the best part of the book is the banter between the protagonist and his friends, and some of the quotes about paper towns (I can type up what I marked in my Kindle once I have a more reliable Internet connection!). The weaknesses include ~Margo Roth Spiegelman~, the unrealistic paragon of all that is exciting in the world, and the fact that most of the entire book revolves around a quest for her after she takes off. The book is narrated by the protagonist, so her perfection can be passed off as reflecting the way HE idealises her, but for me it got boring.
Also, I think this is the first time I've partaken in high school-set fiction that's made me think I'm maybe getting a bit too old for high school-set fiction. So, there's that.
