EVERYONE SHOULD GO READ PAPER TOWNS BY JOHN GREEN!

I think before I mentioned Brotherhood 2.0, a project on Youtube where brothers John and Hank Green posted a video for each other everyday for a whole year.

Well John Green just published his third novel, Paper Towns, and I'm now here to advise everyone to go get a copy and read it.

It is seriously the best book I've read since Harry Potter. How do I know? Because I couldn't put Harry Potter down, likewise, I couldn't put Paper Towns down. I read it in three days. Which actually would have been one if it wasn't for all the packing, working, and spending time with friends I had to do.

I'm actually in a bind right now because I got his other too books, but packed them away cause I thought it would take me a lot longer to read Paper Towns. Seriously... I'm a very slow reader, I'm still trying to finish One Door Away From Heaven by Dean Knootz, and I've been reading that since Junior year of High School, and it took me months to finish that Death Note novel!

I already mentioned to Windy-sama that she had to read it, and she asked me what it was about. It's kinda hard to explain really, not without giving it away. So I'll just tell you all whats written on the back of the book... or inside book cover, rather...

Quentin Jacobson has spent a lifetime loving the magnificent adventurous Margo Roth Speigelman from a far. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life - dressed like a ninja and summening him for an ingenious campaign of revenge - he follows.

After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to find that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues - and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q see the girl he thought he knew.

It's really an excellent story.

Though it made me a bit sad cause Q and Margo reminded me a lot of John and me. Only I wish I was as cool as Margo, and I wish John loved me as much as Q loved Margo.

But either way. It's a must read.

Also, Paper Towns is debuting on the New York Times Best Seller list at #5, and it's being made into a movie... and the people that did the AMAZING AWESOME INCRIDABLE Juno, are going to be making the movie for Paper Towns.

You can't get much cooler then that.

DFTBA!

BEST WISHES!
