Scribbles About Books: Paper Towns by John Green

So I'm actually going to do 2 posts on this. One will be this review and the other will be a look at the discussion questions in the back of the book... so this is just a general review and overview and then in a few days I'll have something too long that no one will read but I'm gonna have fun with. So yeah. This is the first John Green book I read, and I just started Looking For Alaska and his characters are all really really amazing. They're kind of one-note but also multi dimensional in one. Margo in this is a very complicated person and she thinks she's just a "paper girl" looking for something more or something less maybe even. And they were really relatable because it was like you were getting to know them through reading these books. And everything about it was all very high school. In reading this I felt like I had a lot of flashbacks to when I was in high school and my small adventures felt like big ones... and I really thought it worked well...
