Okay, okay, here's something you never thought you'd hear, but I think the movie was better than the book. I know, I know, the hate is coming, but please let me explain (Spoiler Alert).

Paper Towns is a story following a senior boy named Quentin who falls in love with his childhood friend and neighbor, Margo. Margo and Quentin drift apart, and Margo becomes popular and the school's mysterious hottie. Margo loves adventure and is nutorious for running away, except this time, she isn't coming back, and this time, Quentin knows something's up.

There's revenge and adventure, and the first half of the book is pretty good and I was thinking, 'okay, John Green can write'. In other words, it wasn't insufferable unlike it's brother: Last Half of The Book When Margo Is Missing And The Cops Aren't Around. And he's a jerk. 

Allow me to explain, during the last half of the book, Quentin is moping, wondering if Margo's alive. Logically, Quentin, we have 100-something pages of the book, she isn't gonna be dead. If she were dead her organs would be mailed to you and this would be a Stephen King book, not a John Green book where the endings are sad, but not gory. 

The thing is, Margo never wants to be found, but she leaves certian people clues to where she's going so they don't think she's been kidnapped. May I note, that at this point Quentin has graduated high school, therefore Margo doesn't even have to come home, she's 18!

Now, Quentin knows all of this, but still decides to go look for her. And to be frank, the whole last part of the book is like if JK Rowling decided to rewrite the Deathly Hollows into ONLY the movie's camping parts. BORING. 

However, I feel Paper Town's movie did a better job at deciding what was worth our time and what wasn't. Thank you Jake Schreier (the director) for presenting this story to us. You cut out some interesting parts, but for the greater good.
