Paper Towns - John Green

I didn't cry this time but maybe that is because I'm too tired.
Maybe that is because I'm not the same person I was last December.
But this book is amazing.

It is hard for me to review it though because there are so many things I thought of mentioning while I was reading it and right now they're not all coming back to me.

Firstly, I started this book on the day I got here to University because I knew I would feel homesick and reading a familiar book always stops that from feeling as bad.
I can escape into their world.

I chose PT because it was one of the 13 books I brought (well I brought 18 but cookbooks, the dictionary and text books don't count) but also because I'd only read it once before. Many references from it are already included in my life because of the vlogbrothers. I have songs about this book on my mp3 player.

One of the best parts about John's writing is that I can hear the metre of his voice as I read, hear his enunciations. Also, his use of metaphor is amazing and the way he weaves his themes/motifs into the text, such as the windows and mirrors.

He is both funny and serious and creates characters and situations that have little quirks that make them seem real.

Basically, one of my favourite books ever.

Thanks John.
