John Green means I will likely be crying at some point.

[Sam]

Had anyone else started this? I started it yesterday, I'm 25% through but reserving judgement until I've read a bit more.

[Gareth]

I've just finished reading another book, so will be starting this later today

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Really excited about this!

I will also be reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson this month hopefully, so it will be a month full of John Green!

Ive read will grayson will grayson and really enjoyed it overall. Will be starting paper towns when i've finished half a king :)

[Sam]

I finished this last night, I'll be interested to hear what other people thought.

I've just finished this book, and I have to say I was disappointed, on the plus side to characters were believable, and the dialogue was funny, but the obsession was over the top (view spoiler)[ the end was such an anti-climax (hide spoiler)], this was my first John Green maybe I'll read some of his other books and enjoy them more.

[Susan]

I enjoyed Will Grayson, Will Graysonand An Abundance of Katherines more. There's something missing from Paper Towns but I can't put my finger on it.

[Sam]

For me it was Margos character. I just couldn't figure her out.

Cristal, I agree with you about it being over the top. It was not my favorite John Green novel so perhaps you will enjoy some of his other works more too.

Finished this one this afternoon. The book had a nice flow, but the teenage drama was bit much for me.
