Paper Towns by John Green
305 pages
Paper Towns started off so strong. One night, Q's girl-next-door shows up in his bedroom window, asking for his car and his help. She takes him on a night filled with revenge and pranks around their town.
This book is divided into 3 parts. The first part of the story takes place in this one night. And man, it was fun! If Green had written the first part as a short story and left it at that, I would have been thoroughly entertained with just that.
But no, we move on to Part 2. Part 2 is the aftermath of that night, and it is long ... and boring. It takes place over several weeks leading up to Q's high school graduation day. Part 3 gets better, but sadly, not good enough to save this book, in my opinion.
I was disappointed in this one. Still eager to try out some more of Green's books, though, of course.
Next up: Animal Farm by George Orwell
