Paper Towns by John Green 🔖🔖🔖


This book has a resume! 

This is not a favorite and I likely won't recommend it. Yet it kept my interest because of the mystery, drawing me into the drive to find Margo. That was well done. The "message" was a bit in my face, though not overbearing. It felt as if John Green wants to teach the reader something and doesn't trust the reader to be smart enough to catch on to subtle.

One caution is the talk some of the boys used regarding their penises, which could be quite "normal" but also a bit on the offensive side for some.
