This mysterious romance novel will make you laugh, cry, and get mad at the stupidity of the main characters. Just like all good books do. I would rank the book as a 8/10, mainly because there were some loose ends at the end of the book. Other than that the book was fantastic. 

 In the novel Paper Towns Margo Roth Spiegelman and Quentin Jacobsen go on an all night adventure of righting wrongs and wronging rights as Margo brilliantly said. After there wonderful adventure Margo goes missing putting Quentin into a frenzy. Quentin and his friends look for clues left by Margo leading him to her. After finally discovering where she is, an imaginary town called Algoe, they take a 23 hour road trip to New York to return her home. When they arrive they find her and get some very rude awakenings from Margo. ]]> 2017-05-19 13:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sconne6812/1mw473f9q7vq/wish/172793655 sconne6812 https://padlet.com/sconne6812/1mw473f9q7vq/wish/172793685 www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2015/apr/28/review-paper-towns-john-green
In this book review the writer talks about  how brilliantly John Green uses metaphors to get his point across to young readers. The writer also points out how the book is set up and gives a decent summery of the book. Within this review it is revealed how the writer believes it is an amazingly written book. He also gives much credit to John Green saying how amazing his writing is. 

I personally agree greatly with this writers review of the book. I believe he gave credit where credit was deserved and summarized the story. When I read his review I wanted to reread the book, his description was so amazing and it made me realize some of the things I skipped over. Another thing the writer mentioned multiple times was the metaphors John Green used, and how beautifully written they are. I completely agree the writers take on the book.]]> 2017-05-19 13:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sconne6812/1mw473f9q7vq/wish/172793685 sconne6812 https://padlet.com/sconne6812/1mw473f9q7vq/wish/172793704       Within the book Green's universal theme is about identity and how changing one's own identity will not affect others. Green proves this theme with the relationship between Margo and Quentin. When Quentin is around Margo he tries to act confident because Margo had said "Here's a tip: you're cute when you're confident and less when you're not," (Green 57), he thought that there relationship would change if he changed himself. Shockingly, there relationship didn't change. If someone were to change there identity for another it would not change how the one person feels about the person changing. 

  Green choose this as a universal theme because it affects many young adults today. Many young adults believe that if they change who they are they can find a relationship or a friendship with someone they really don't connect with. Young readers tend to believe if they were just smarter or prettier or more composed they could be more likable, which isn't true. Green choose this theme because he wanted to let the readers know no matter how much they change it will not change how people feel about them.

Quentin Jacobsen is level headed, probably caused by being raised by two psychologists, caring, and not adventurous. Until one night he finds Margo at his window drawing him out into the night to have the best night of his life. One of Quentin's biggest motivations is Margo, and the fact the he is desperately in love with her. He is also motivated by himself in many ways especially after Margo runs away and she is not there. 

 Quentin affects the other characters in his life, mainly Radar, Ben, and Margo. He affects Ben and Radar when he goes on the road trip because they don't want him to go alone causing both of them to miss graduation. He affects Margo by causing her to wonder if she spent her time in the 'Paper Town' with the wrong people. This is shown during there night of many adventures, when Margo says "' Maybe things would have been different for men if I'd been hanging out with you the whole time'" (Green  58). If Quentin had not been in love with Margo the whole story would have been different. Quentin played a very important part in this story. 

 I don't relate to Quentin at all. Quentin is shy and keeps to himself whereas I am outgoing and love being with people. Quentin is scared of rule breaking when I love the thrill of it. Quentin sticks to his one group of friends and I tend to adapt to the people I have around me creating more and more friends. Though I don't relate to Quentin, I definitely relate to his partner in crime Margo.
