"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person"-John Green,Paper Towns

Paper Towns is a book that I wanted to read so badly.That I ended up hating while I was reading and I ended up loving when I realized what was wrong with me.I really hated it when every thing Quentin did somehow reminded him of Margo!But I realized what was wrong with me when I read the part where Q gets angry with Ben and Radar tells him that we have to accept people the way they are.So,I realized,that was Q,obsessed with Margo or and image of her that had made up.And I ended up loving them!But I have to say Ben is one of the most amazing characters ever!I absolutely adore him.I couldn't help but laugh out loud during the beer sword incident and every time he said "honeybunnies".Radar is exactly like someone who would be my best friend so it was not that hard to imagine him while I read.The Black Santas thing was really awesome as it shows the entire theme of the book-how we create these images of people and they end up being entirely different.
All of us contain multitudes and all of us see ourselves as the center of our history.Sometimes we see people the way we want them to be,sometimes we see people exactly like they want us to see them.I realized this after I read this book.

I really don't know what to say about this book,because 1)anything I say will be inadequate 2)Anything I say will end up completely different from what I wanted to say in the first place.

Most of the readers hated the ending,I don't know why,but I loved it.It happened like it was supposed to happen.I think in a way it showed how we expect a book to end and how it ends in an entirely different way.Like the cracked vessel,Margo which Q thought was "uncracked and uncrackable"

I suggest this book everyone!It is definitely going in to my must reads shelf.That's all!Now,I have to go and drink some Bluefin.
