Paper Towns by John Green




by



Best selling young adult author John Green has created a masterpiece in his novel Paper Towns.  I have not read The Fault In Our Stars by the same author but I did read Looking For Alaska by him and it too was wonderful but I think I  like Paper Towns even better.  This book reached in and touched the part of me that got left behind after young adulthood.  It is about the fakiness in high school and running away to find who you really are.  It is full of poetry and the meaning that poetry can convey.  A journal is weaved through out the book and what happens to the journal in the end is very touching.  This is a story that will make you belly laugh and make you scream "YES!".  While it is okay if the young adults read it,  the baby boomers really need to get between the covers of this one.  Please click on the  title and author's name above to follow the link to more information  and enjoy the video where the author talks about the new movie coming out later this month based on this book.   All book clubs need to read this book.
