Paper towns

Paper towns
By John Green
Dutton Books, 2008, 305 pgs. Young Adult

This is the story of Quentin, a 17yr old coasting towards graduation. Q lives a predictable, boring life until one day everything changes. His exciting and slightly unhinged neighbor takes him on an all night adventure that ends with breaking into Sea World. Q thinks that his life is going to change now that they have shared this experience and so, he is deeply disappointed when he finds out that she has abruptly left town. Determined to find her, Q and his friends travel across the country on a caffeine fueled mission. I enjoyed this young adult book, it was lighter and more humorous than Looking for Alaska, while still exploring teenage pain and angst.
