Summary from Rotten Tomatoes:
Adapted from the bestselling novel by author John Green (“The Fault in Our Stars”), PAPER TOWNS is a coming-of-age story centering on Quentin and his enigmatic neighbor Margo, who loved mysteries so much she became one. After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears–leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is equal parts hilarious and moving.Ultimately, to track down Margo, Quentin must find a deeper understanding of true friendship–and true love.
I have a confession to make: I wasn’t the biggest fan of John Green’s Paper Towns.
Shock. Gasp. Horror. Hear me out. I read both Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns back to back and I had to say that I enjoyed the former more. Not only that, Looking for Alaska is my favourite John Green book of all time, so naturally, Paper Towns seemed duller less original in comparison. Paper Towns was a movie I was by no means excited to see (even if Cara Delevingne is a queen and I adore her). I looked forward to the confirmed casting of Looking for Alaska (something I’m sure I’ll make a post about when it happens) more than the film, if I’m being frank.
