Quentin Jacobson has spent his whole life admiring and falling in love with Margo Roth Spiegelmen. In the middle of the night, Margo climbs in through Quentin's window and needs a favor. Quentin drives her around as she goes on a revenge spree against Jase, her cheating ex-boyfriend. The next morning Margo is missing. Quentin feels that she is leaving him clues so he can go find her. He and his friends set out to find her. However, once he finds her, she tells him she never wanted to be found.
This is a great book for kids 14-17 years. I enjoy reading a book before seeing the movie. This is an excellent read and would recommend it to anyone who likes to read books that are made into movies. It would also appeal to adolescents who are feeling lost and need to find themselves.
One of the themes in Paper Towns is seeing people for who they really are. Quentin was in love with and idolized Margo Roth Spiegelmen since he was a child. He sees Margo as popular and a risk taker who has everything going for her. To him, she is a miracle. When in reality, she is a lost girl uncertain of who she is. He realizes this at the end.
