What happened to summer? It's August already?! July's book was Paper Towns by John Green, chosen by Lisa of Uncommon Wife Life. I read John Green's The Fault in Our Stars last summer and liked it, but it didn't blow me away.
The book begins when Quentin Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman were nine years old. They find a dead body of a man up against a tree in a park. Fast forward to their senior year in high school when Margo re-enters Quentin's life by showing up at his bedroom window and recruiting him to help her on a very detailed revenge plan. The next day, Margo has vanished, but left a cryptic string of clues for Quentin to find her.
I really enjoyed this book, mostly because of John Green's quirky writing style. It had a very conversational tone and lots of funny parts that had me literally LOL-ing. Many of Margo's clues led Quentin to abandoned buildings and neighborhoods, which was really intriguing and fascinating to me.
I finished this one in about a week, which is saying something. Usually it takes me much longer! I had to know what happened to Margo! You also find out specifically what the term "Paper Towns" means, and it's pretty cool! I'm also excited to see the movie, which is in theaters now.
