Book Review - Paper Towns by John Green

This is a Young Adult novel. 

Quentin, a well-adjusted and under-the-radar senior, finds himself caught up in the minor pranks of his impossibly cool neighbor Margot the night before she disappears.  Quentin (Q) realizes Margot has left clues for him regarding her disappearance.  He feels compelled to follow the clues not knowing if they will lead to Margot alive and well or something more sinister.  While on this epic journey, Q finds out many things about Margot, his friends, and himself.

I loved this book. John Green is fantastic.  Paper Towns is so well-written, I wanted to read it again when I finished it.  It was a great mystery full of humor that was cleverly placed throughout the book.  The characters, although they were unlike any teens I have ever met, were so great that they seemed like they should be real if for no other reason than that they were just so dang cool.  Okay, so maybe I can relate to band nerds and computer geeks; is that so wrong? 5 out of 5.
