Are you a fan of Gorillaz? Have you even heard of the Gorillaz? If not, Then you Should totally Listen to The Gorillaz (Paper Towns was my favorite of your books!). If you have heard of them and dislike them, then you haven't given them a chance. Gorillaz is one of the best bands of all time! Without Gorillaz, I wouldn't be Melodicagirl666! I would have never have heard of the melodica (The melodica is an awesome instrument)! I will try The Mountain Goats if you try Gorillaz! Fair deal, yeah?
This book made my life. The hilarity and thoughtfulness are brought out so beautifully and uniquely that I can honestly say I've never read anything like it. It sucked me in and forcefully kept me from doing homework. My friend borrowed it, and she finished it at about 2 a.m. this morning, laughing out loud at Ben's bladder control issues. In return I'm reading her copy of The Hunger Games.
My dad has a massive collection of Santas! Like, 125 friggin' St. Nicks. I two of them are black. One also happens to be Gay Black Football Santa. So yeah. This video made me think of that. Which now seems kinda pointless...yeah...
HELP PLEASE! My sister wants to read some books and asked me for suggestions so I was wondering if I should get her paper towns for christmas but she's 27 and her genre in books vary and the language she reads is very mateur. recommend it or not?
@Music4ever248 I just finished it today. I'm 20 but couldn't imagine anyone finding this book immature. Not only is it a great read and wonderfully written but it will be on your mind long after. At least I'm sure it will with me.
Why is it that everytime I read this book it takes me months to read it even though its one of the best books ever written in the whole freaking universe?
I love your book John green:)) and I went to Ur presentation when u went to lawrence north.! I also fell in love with Q, thanks for that-.- please make it into a movie!!!!!!!
"I don't think we have anything in common except that we're both tall... and vaguely nerdy." Uh-huh. And what about when Quentin flattens his puffy hair? Didn't think anyone would catch that, did you?
It's horrible! I've only read Looking for Alaska and Abundance of Katherines but I HAVENT READ PAPER TOWNS! I can't find a copy anywhere!! And trust me, if I do, I'm NOT leaving until I own it. Oh, and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. But paper towns first.
Th use of Black Santas in Paper Towns reminded me that I have a Bubble Blowing Black Santa at home, this December I'm finding it, giving it bubble solution and filming it, for you.
Unless we got rid of it a few years ago, but that's moderately unlikely...
I just finished reading Paper Towns about five minutes ago. It was great! It was a very different experience for me than reading any other book, because I felt like I knew the author. I can't wait to read the rest of your books!
my new favorite book! it gave me so much to think about and joy while reading it and I couldn't get enough of it. Paper towns kicked Looking for Alaska off the top of my favorite books and made it #2 :)
so any news about the movie? all news are quite old and i'd like to know if there's any progress going on
i loved that book so much!!! i read it realy fast (in under 10 hours) even at school, i didnt get told to put it down at all, even in lessons, so you may have a few under cover nerdfighter teachers! anyway, this is the best book i have ever read :3
I just read Paper Towns in twelve hours. This is the first time I have completed a book in under a week. To anyone who hasn't read this book yet, there is a reason for this
Page 230 ish and climbing. Great book, but I question the BLATENT similaities between Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska. They are both about a high school level guy who falls in love with a wild, beautiful, intelligent girl who then gets taken from him. Along side his two guy friends and one girl friend, he uses bits and pieces of the stuff she left behind to uncover the truth of her disappearance, and in doing so uncovers who this girl really was. Greats books though, both of them.
I really loved Paper Towns. It's probably my favorite out of all of John Green's books. There's so much buzzing in my head that I want to talk about! This book made me think, and think A LOT. If anyone else wants to spew what they think of Paper Towns and how it made them think, I'd love to hear it over at my blog. I wrote a post all about it and how it relates to the theme of balance. I want to discuss with you, fellow nerdfighters!!
Dear John Green If you make paper Towns a movie I would very much so like to act in it I do not want to be Margo due to the fact that i simply don't think I could pull her of but I am an actress and acting in a book you have written would be amazing. My best wishes for the screenplay DFTBA.
I just finished reading the book recently and really liked it, the only thing I didn't like about it was that Margo and Alaska (from looking for Alaska) seem to be very Very similar girls... like almost identical.
I finally read Paper Towns - and I was blown away. Then I lent it to my grandmother and she adored it, and then she lent it to her partner, and he loved it, and now my dad's godfather is reading it and was stuck to the couch with the papers making that lovely crinkly sound in his silent reverie. Bravo, John. I wish I could imagine the world like you do - but then, as I suppose Q might point out to me, I imagine the world the way I imagine myself, and that's okay. Still - bravo.
in the middle of it just boughtit on my nook and i rlly love it like i find myself laughing at it cuz your funny and its funny and wow this comment sucks haha
Bonk the "unattainable" in a way that we all read. Instead, or poems or songs by experience.

i was suppose to be finished in cold blood for my english lit class but instead i decided to read paper towns because in cold blood was driving me insane. i'm so glad i did. paper towns is an amazing book and is definitely one of my favourite books that i have ever read. the only thing is, i still haven't finished in cold blood.
John, I have a movie I would like you to watch that I think you would greatly enjoy (though there is a good chance that you have seen it already). It's called Dead Poets Society. It's about a group of boys at a private school in the late 80s and features an English teacher who makes many references to some authors you have mentioned before. In addition to being made of awesome, I have found it to be very clever and well done as far as plot among other things. Let me know what you think.
So...a few years ago at our school, there was a special boys' choir, and for one song, they needed someone to dress up as Santa. We got a black Santa. He was awesome.
I was in a Maths lecture the other day, and there was a quote from a Walt Whitman poem! I almost yelled, but I didn't. Still exciting. I should probably also mention that this Maths lecture was on a a Saturday morning. I was not forced into this, I chose to go. No wonder everyone thinks I'm strange...DFTBA.
I'm writing a paper based on the dangerous idea of humankind misimagining each other.... your book provided me with some inspiration in my time of need. Thanks John!!!
I was reading Justin Cronin's "The Passage" and told myself that I would not, under any circumstances, check out any other book before I finished that one. Tonakai15 and I were in our school library l when we came across two of your books; "Paper Towns" and "An Abundance of Katherines" and were so excited that we decided to each check one out. I have not finished reading it yet, but returned it so that I could buy it for myself. I loved it so far and look forward to reading more of your books.
@Asheill By the way, youtube needs to allow us to type more at once. I had to delete so much from that comment that it pained me to take out even one word praising your awesomeness. Rock on, Nerdfighters (I totally just added that word to my computer's dictionary...how dare it not recognize it?)!
I'm writing an essay on 'The Crucible' and we have to compare it to something else, I've decided to compare it to 'Paper Towns'! =] Ask me not "Why?" For the answer will be "Why not?" =] Awesome book!! My favourite by far!
One of my favorite books, I love how you write your female characters, I lovveed Margo. I wish I were like her. You should name your next famle character after me and make her as bad ass as Alaska, and smart as Margo. Just a thought. Btw my name is Daphne. Just sayin'. Can't wait till you make another super cool, awsome book.
John when I wanted to purchase your book, Paper Towns, i scoured my local book store and could not find your book, then i went to a book store in a city quite a drive away from my home. I could not find it. Frusterated, i asked someone who worked at the book store to help me. They directd me to the teen section. John, i was so convinced that your books were for all ags, i didnt even consider the teen section. Well, just thought i'd share that story,
@LemmeEatYoFace I like that you have a really long, formal looking letter and then nearly shat myself with surprise that your name is 'LemmeEatYoFace.'
Papar Towns has probably been the best book I've read in a long time. But, being the Beatles fan that I am, I have to point out that on page 236 of the paperback edition, the song is "Good Morning, Good Morning", not just "Good Morning". But that's just me being nitpicky. Great job, and PLEASE MAKE PAPER TOWNS INTO A MOVIE!!!!!
Paper Towns made me cry because I found myself so closely relating to Margo and how nobody knew who she really was and everybody thought she was a different person and she had to go along with that cherade until she couldn't take it anymore. Your books have so much meaning, I love them so much. By the way, I read your books in reverse order (newest to oldest, and I don't care if that's improper grammar right now). You are a HUUUGE inspiration for me as a writer!!!!! ANK TOU!
I ordered it. But it still hasn't be delivered. Also, I have no idea what the Dutch cover looks like. So, yippeh, a surprise! But I do have "het grote misschien" (which is the Dutch translation of looking for Alaska).
I finished Paper Towns today and I have to say that it is absolutely awesome! It has to be the best book that I've read in a loooooong time. Truly amazing John!!
that's it....i'm going to borders and, since i'm cheap, i'm going to read it there and then return it to its shelf whilst wishing i had the money to buy it.
Today I was on amazon, and I saw this little box calles "Express Checkout with PayPhrase". I clicked the "What's this?" button to more, and the example was Weekday Warrior. It made me really happy.
Hey John (or Hank who ever reads this) when is paper towns coming out in cinemas if it is already out WHY IS IT NOT OUT IN ENGLAND if it isn't out yet WHEN IS IT OUT VampStirker10 X
So I've decided I want to read the book, but now I need to decide between the ebook version and the dead-tree version. Why, when I buy a book, don't I get an ebook copy free with it?
Paper Towns- which I have, coincidentally, read 5 times and is my favorite book, is on the list or my schools reading team (which is a competition between several schools). I plan on being the school's Expert on the Subject.
...and plan on reading it at least 5 more times. Unlike many books, it doesn't matter how many times I read it, I still love it.
Also, I've gotten into the habit of adjusting wikipedia articles.
I just finished reading Paper Towns about half an hour ago (having just read the last half of the book in one go) and it is truly phenomenal. Whilst the ending is almost an inevitable conclusion by the time you reach the beginning of part three, somehow it still surprises. The symbolism in the burying of the black notebook - *inspired*.
Just ordered Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines, and looking forward to them arriving!
Is there a reason that the "O" on the cover of both novels is colored? I know Margo has longer hair at first but then she cuts it by the time Q finds her in Agloe, so why are the covers of the book so inaccurate? She looks like a beautiful Margo to me.
If you make Paper Towns into a movie, I will eternally love you. You're already my favorite author because of this book, and now knowing that the movie rights are in the hands of the people who made Juno, a great, nay, TERRIFIC and well thought out movie, you must make this movie. I feel I can trust them to make it not suck. In fact, this movie shall DECREASE world suck by at least 54.7%. Especially since you are in charge of the screenplay.
i just bought it yesterday night and im on page 150. this is the rist book that i liked reading haha struggling through adhd and dyslexia causes me to fail english, not do summer reading, and never read books...i love this book though?
Personally, I don't think you're ever too young to read a book; I didn't find anything in Paper Towns that I considered to be majorly inappropriate, but that's all up to you.
omg. I'm in Love with paper Towns. margo is Awesome. and So is Q. Well, all Of them are Insanely awesome. but whatever That book is Super good and I love The pranks In paper towns and Looking for alaska. especially The stripper One In looking for Alaska lmfao! If you've Read paper towns You'll understand why my Captialization is way Weird. :D
John: "I don't think it's the new Great Gatsby."
John, two lines later: "I wanted to call it one of the alternate titles for The Great Gatsby."
Excuse me if I don't understand, but, what?

If you had named your book anything other than Paper Towns, I don't think I would have read it, and then I wouldn't be a Nerdfighter right now. Oo

if paper towns gets made into a movie it should have a cast made up entirely of nerdfighters

I was reading Justin Cronin's "The Passage" and told myself that I would not, under any circumstances, check out any other book before I finished that one. Tonakai15 and I were in our school library l when we came across two of your books; "Paper Towns" and "An Abundance of Katherines" and were so excited that we decided to each check one out. I have not finished reading it yet, but returned it so that I could buy it for myself. I loved it so far and look forward to reading more of your books.

@Asheill By the way, youtube needs to allow us to type more at once. I had to delete so much from that comment that it pained me to take out even one word praising your awesomeness. Rock on, Nerdfighters (I totally just added that word to my computer's dictionary...how dare it not recognize it?)!

I'm writing an essay on 'The Crucible' and we have to compare it to something else, I've decided to compare it to 'Paper Towns'! =] Ask me not "Why?" For the answer will be "Why not?" =] Awesome book!! My favourite by far!

One of my favorite books, I love how you write your female characters, I lovveed Margo. I wish I were like her. You should name your next famle character after me and make her as bad ass as Alaska, and smart as Margo. Just a thought. Btw my name is Daphne. Just sayin'. Can't wait till you make another super cool, awsome book.

John when I wanted to purchase your book, Paper Towns, i scoured my local book store and could not find your book, then i went to a book store in a city quite a drive away from my home. I could not find it. Frusterated, i asked someone who worked at the book store to help me. They directd me to the teen section. John, i was so convinced that your books were for all ags, i didnt even consider the teen section. Well, just thought i'd share that story,

Papar Towns has probably been the best book I've read in a long time. But, being the Beatles fan that I am, I have to point out that on page 236 of the paperback edition, the song is "Good Morning, Good Morning", not just "Good Morning". But that's just me being nitpicky. Great job, and PLEASE MAKE PAPER TOWNS INTO A MOVIE!!!!!

Paper Towns made me cry because I found myself so closely relating to Margo and how nobody knew who she really was and everybody thought she was a different person and she had to go along with that cherade until she couldn't take it anymore. Your books have so much meaning, I love them so much. By the way, I read your books in reverse order (newest to oldest, and I don't care if that's improper grammar right now). You are a HUUUGE inspiration for me as a writer!!!!! ANK TOU!

Paper Towns- which I have, coincidentally, read 5 times and is my favorite book, is on the list or my schools reading team (which is a competition between several schools). I plan on being the school's Expert on the Subject.
...and plan on reading it at least 5 more times. Unlike many books, it doesn't matter how many times I read it, I still love it.
Also, I've gotten into the habit of adjusting wikipedia articles.
I know now why Radar loved it so much.

I just finished reading Paper Towns about half an hour ago (having just read the last half of the book in one go) and it is truly phenomenal. Whilst the ending is almost an inevitable conclusion by the time you reach the beginning of part three, somehow it still surprises. The symbolism in the burying of the black notebook - *inspired*.
Just ordered Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines, and looking forward to them arriving!
Awesome, John. Just awesome.

Is there a reason that the "O" on the cover of both novels is colored? I know Margo has longer hair at first but then she cuts it by the time Q finds her in Agloe, so why are the covers of the book so inaccurate? She looks like a beautiful Margo to me.

Dear John Green,
If you make Paper Towns into a movie, I will eternally love you. You're already my favorite author because of this book, and now knowing that the movie rights are in the hands of the people who made Juno, a great, nay, TERRIFIC and well thought out movie, you must make this movie. I feel I can trust them to make it not suck. In fact, this movie shall DECREASE world suck by at least 54.7%. Especially since you are in charge of the screenplay.
I love you! DFTBA!

Personally, I don't think you're ever too young to read a book; I didn't find anything in Paper Towns that I considered to be majorly inappropriate, but that's all up to you.
Hope this helps you make a decision :).
