In case you have forgotten, I called Paper Towns a “fantastic novel”. In fact, after re-reading what I wrote about it, I used “fantastic” twice to describe the book. Hm, I guess need a thesaurus. Anyway, It’s a great young adult book that you should check out.

Description from Powells.com:

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues and they are for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.
