This book may seem like just another run of the mill coming of age tale of some random high schooler, but it will surprise you. I couldn't put the book down once I started, I finished it in 3 days which I haven't done in years.

John Green infused "Paper Towns" with his own flavor of wit and insight which will keep you not only laughing but identifying more and more with the characters. This book reminded me of the angst of being a teen, the struggles with conformity, and trying to find your own self through all the chaos.

After reading this book I found myself wanting to reread it. You can't help but want to look for all the little clues and hidden meanings Green sprinkled through the novel.
