Book Review of 'Paper Towns' by John Green

'Paper Towns' is a book set in America, about a teenage boy who has a crush on his next-door neighbor and he has known her since they were really young. They start to separate more as they get older, until one night when everything could change...

I found this book intriguing and it definitely draws you into the story. I really enjoy books that are like diaries but not written like a diary, and that is what this book is like... If that made sense to anyone out there, good.

This book is about finding out more about people and not just judging them on how you remember them. It shows that people can change over time and they may not be the same as you remember them to be. I found that this was a useful lesson to learn from a really good book and I enjoyed this book especially because you can engage with the characters and feel what they feel. Everything is described with precision and you don't miss out on anything in the story.

I really enjoyed this book and, it was -a bit- about romance, but the main story was more adventurous and mysterious and you get to try and figure out the mystery along with the characters. At first I did find the concept of 'paper towns' slightly confusing - without giving anything away...- but I grasped the idea nearer to the end when it is described in more depth.
