This. Book. Is. Good. It is original and well written. It has mystery, friendship, life, death. Although, at first it came off as kind of two- dimensional in a sense that the characters seemed more like ideas of characters, the same way that the main character, Q, wasn't seeing Margo, but an idea of Margo.

I knew I would like this book because John Green wrote it, but wow! I loved this book!

Our female in this story, Margo, is very much like another character of Johns named Alaska.

Margo is a free spirit who lives in the now - not in the future - like her next door neighbor Q. Margo shows up at Q's window one night to enlist his help on a quest for revenge. After that night is over, Q begins a journey of self-discovery that takes him places he has never braved before.

This book was such a fun, though

I actually liked this better than TFIOS. The first time I tried reading it, I just couldn't get into it. Now, it's good. What happened if Quentin never went to look for Margo? If some of it didn't happen? ...more

AMAZING! John Green is such a genius writer. At some point I was just like 'ok, John just kills every love interest/lover his main characters have in his every book' but I was wrong. The plot was amazing, Margo's clues and everything... woah! ...more

Just like the fault in our stars paper towns isn't a let down. John green has very unique characters with very interesting personalities. You can very clearly see bits of him in this story. Although it might seem confusing throughout the story when you finish it is a very got plot line. John green you pleasantly surprised me again ...more
