I'm much of a reader, so it takes A LOT to get me interested in a book. Just when John Green was becoming a popular author, I chose to read his book, Paper Towns. This book is about a girl, Margo, who runs away from home, leaving clues behind for her best friend, Quentin, to find. Throughout the entire book Quentin is trying to find her. I'm not one who likes to spoil endings, so hopefully you will go read this book yourself and find out how it ends.
Now, plenty of people are probably reading this post thinking "geez, everyone knows The Fault in our Stars is John Green's best book". I'm not really a fan of books that make me cry and I still liked that book, but Paper Towns can relate to more people. Not everyone has lost someone to cancer, but I know for a fact that people in this world are constantly misimagined. The main character, Margo, is looked at like a mystery. No one knows who she really is and sometimes she gets annoyed by that. This book shows how people are much more complex than we seem to be. There's a reason we act the way we do and there's a reason we do the things we do. Paper Towns is about girls, or even people in general, and how they are consistently misimagined and that everyone is their own person.
