Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew... -- Goodreads description

_____________

From the moment you first flick through the pages of Quentin's of ordinary world, you are sucked in by the portal of vacuuming pages.

Quentin's world is so ordinary, so simple. So the minute you begin reading, you don't feel like your in different world, it just that you're still on Earth, just in a different body. When your life dramatically changes with a chance at getting your lifetime crush and next door neighbour, and when she wisks you off for a night of revenge and adventure, you're thrilled! But when you find out that there's a possibility that Margo was with you that night only because she thought you were the only one that could handle what's to come, your life alters hugely, and the emotional roller coaster begins (and unfortunately for us, it's not Ausgustus Water's roller coaster that only goes up, my friend). No, this ride takes you on ups and downs, loop-the-loops, and goes off the rails. This masterpiece makes you laugh at the humour of the characters, be afraid of what's coming next, and tortures you into thinking the worst - but it's worth it. I would praise this book to anyone who loves a good teen mystery, or anyone who just wants to laugh every couple of pages.  John Green displays his amazing talent in every book he writes, showing his humour, fun, and romantic side to the word. So please, bring some adventure into your world and pick up Paper Towns - you won't regret it.

Happy Reading.
