You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves. “Can we call Ben then?” “No, Ben’s an asshole.” Radar looked at me sideways. Chuck Parson made it out like calling yourself a faggot was the ultimate humiliation, even though there’s nothing at all embarrassing about being gay.” As it happens, I am not gay, and furthermore, 3. I don’t think that word should ever be used by anyone, let alone me, and 2. “In the end, I had to call myself a faggot, which really annoyed me, because 1. Just sitting around, tending sheep, and yodeling.” Example: Historically, Germany has had more enemies than Luxembourg, Margo Roth Spiegelman was Germany. I always felt like you had to be important to have enemies. “But then again, in sixth grade, Jase promised not to punch my arm if I ate a live earthworm, so I ate a live earthworm and then he punched me in the face.” “And I don’t really have anyone upon whom I want to rain down my wrath,” I said, because in truth I didn’t.
Paper Towns had so many great things to say and was incredibly funny, so it was really hard for me to pick them out. My expectations weren’t entirely met, but I still think I have to give it… It’s a bit hard for me to rate this book since some parts were really great, and some parts less great. – Q’s last conversation with Margo didn’t feel completely realistic.
It had some fun parts, but was also very slow. Therefore, I found it pretty boring when Q spent a lot of time just reading and analysing poems. This was a big part of the plot and it fitted the story, but I’m really bad at understanding poems. The dialogue between them was really funny, and they brought out a different side of Quentin. + The relationship between Q and his friends. To wrap this up, here you have some pros and cons :) I find it hard to really describe the ways both Paper Towns and TFiOS have affected me, so I guess my advice to you is to simply pick up the books and find out for yourself :). It can make you realize things about yourself that you didn’t know before.

I also think John Green wanted to teach his readers that it can be hard to break free from the things that holds you back, but that it might be good for you. He hasn’t seen her through a window, but a mirror. That the Margo in his head, isn’t the true Margo. In his eyes, she is this goddess, invincible and fearless, but throughout the story, he realizes he doesn’t really know her at all. Nobody’s perfect, not even Margo Roth Spiegelman.Īll his life, Quentin has put Margo on a pedestal. That you have to accept people for who they are, both others and yourself. This is, in my eyes, part of what the book is really about. Margo was alluring and interesting, even though she only cared about herself most of the time. Ben was hilarious, even though he was an asshole. The characters in this story were great, though! I really liked Quentin, even though he was always late and never thought about anything but Margo Roth Spiegelman. Though it was a really entertaining, well-written book, this kind of lowered my rating of it. To be honest, I didn’t really feel the urge to keep on reading when nothing had happened for a while, which resulted in me taking 19 days to finish it. The plot of Paper Towns was sometimes ridiculously funny, unexpected, surprising, and interesting, but I found some parts slightly too slow. Not a favourite or anything (it kind of affected how I imagined Margo), but the colours are nice, and her eyes kind of lures you in. It’s weird because I don’t usually like these kinds of covers (you know, faces), but I think this one is fine. From my experience with TFiOS, I was certain another book by John Green would fit the bill. I knew I wanted a contemporary book with humour, some seriousness and something to tell the world. So when my english teacher told us to pick a book to read in class, I chose this one. I’m really glad I have finally read another John Green novel! He is a great writer, who puts a lot of thought into his words, his characters and the plots of his stories, which I really appreciate as a reader. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer Q gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew. But Q soon learns that there are clues – and they’re for him. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life – dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge – he follows.Īfter 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. Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar.
