Paper Towns

So I read this book.
    I read this book because I love John and Hank Green's vlogs on Youtube so when I saw his name on a book, I thought, "Why not?" I read this book late into the night, fighting against the melatonin I had taken previously. Mr. Green had gotten me with the candlestick in the ballroom, I was hooked. I loved the honesty that is his style of writing, I don't think he can pull off a different brand. However I didn't like all the cussing and nonchalant underage drinking, yeah I know that is just a fact of life to some people, but why so much in a fiction novel?
   I gave this book three stars. One, because it was compelling, kept me interested to the disastrous end. (Not at all what I expected or wanted.) Two, I enjoyed the story, he is a good writer. And three, I liked how the story turned from Quentin finding Margo, to Quentin finding himself.Which is really cool.

   I would recommend this book to twentyish people with a more philosophical take on life.
Over and out.
Love,

P.S.
Thanks for the views, it really brightened my day.
