Quentin has been in love with next door neighbor Margo for most of his life. Then one night she climbs in his bedroom window and takes him along on a night of pranks and revenge. The next day she disappears. Quentin follows a string of clues to find the real Margo.
I read this book as part of a book club with some friends. I must admit that if I didn't have to finish the book for the book club I probably would not have finished reading it. I found the story to be completely predictable. Like in most John Green books the characters are very introspective and learn a lot of about themselves throughout the story. Also like most John Green characters, they are very self-involved and egotistical. I thought it interesting that the others in the book club were surprised and disappointed by the ending. I thought it was typical of the way the author ends his books and they way that I wanted it to end.
Paper Towns won the 2009 Edgar Award for best Young Adult Mystery.
