I enjoyed reading Paper Towns. Firstly, the story is very unique and interesting and there is never a dull moment. Surprisingly, what stood out for me was how the story depicts the perception of a character rather than the character themselves. Another thing that I enjoyed was how Quentin learns more about himself while he is on his quest to find Margo. Even though it is bittersweet towards the end, I still enjoyed Quentin’s journey. However, I really did not like Margo as I thought the was very unrealistic and self-centered. Overall, while this is not as good as Turtles all the way down, I did enjoy reading it.
