It’s hard to describe Paper Towns by John Green.  I was partly drawn to this book because it written by John Green, the well-known author whose book, The Fault in our Stars, inspired the successful production of a movie. 
The book follows a rediscovery journey of lifetime friends or acquaintances, Q and Margo.  The amazing Margo Roth Spiegelman became a mystery to her neighbor, Q, ever since an encounter with a dead body at the age of nine.  And Q is determined to find the real Margo no matter how far and wide he must look after she goes missing.
While the book had an interesting plot line, I found myself getting bored towards the middle of the book because the most action-packed scenes seemed to be in the beginning and end of the book.  It also felt very metaphysical.  I know there are many people who would thoroughly enjoy Paper Towns, for it is well-scripted and intriguing.
I kept turning the pages determined to solve the mystery that John Green made me feel involved in.  I found myself laughing out loud, for I felt I was inside the story.
And like our unique taste buds, everyone has different preferences in books.  It was good but, personally, not my favorite.   This review should not deter anyone from reading Paper Towns.  I hope I have been able to show that it is, in fact, good but not for everybody.
