John Green is an author who produces stories of consistently high quality, and Paper Towns is certainly no exception. It's another one of those books that's kind of hard to describe, but the book follows a boy named Quentin and his hapless search for the fantastically amazing Margo Roth Spiegelman. The book is about how we misperceive each other and fail to imagine each other complexly. It's one of those rare cases where the message is not only something that applies to everyone, but is something we really don't think about that often. Aside from that, the book is wonderfully well-written, with well-developed and interesting characters and prose ranging from philosophically poetic to hilariously crude. It's one of those books I think everyone can enjoy and get something out of.
