paper towns: book review (becca)

Paper towns, where do i begin to speak of your utter magnificent beauty. First of all, i think it's a thrilling, captivating read. Margo, this unbelievable, surreal, greater than the average human being is revealed through Quentin's eyes. Ben, the ever enthusiastic, and Radar, the technology guy, embark on the trip of a lifetime with Q and Ben's girlfriend, Lacey, in search of Margo Roth Spiegelman. Q realizes just who Margo is and he realizes who he is too.

I don't know where to begin in professing my love and adoration for this novel. I think everyone wants to be Margo Roth Spiegelman. Maybe she doesn't have the life you'd always imagined but she's on the verge of adventure everywhere.

Q doesn't question so much about her last daring escapade. He's so willing to live in her shadow for at least one night and that night changes his life forever.

Ben and Radar are two of the best friends Q could have. Sometimes he feels like they don't care but they're quick to come to the rescue when he needs help.

There is so much honesty in this book. There is so much hope and longing and missing and problem solving and I am willing to say I don't want to share this book. I want to keep it mine forever and selfishly feel that this is a book that I can have to live in Margo's shoes. To live like Margo Roth Spiegelman. To dream of Paper Towns.

From the back cover:

Who is the real Margo?

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Speigelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life - dressed like a ninja 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're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew....

Why I'm reading this book third:
This is the last book of John Green's that I hadn't read yet. I've seen it given a lot of praise (all of john green's books deserve praise) and I really want to read it before I read LFA and TFIOS (which i have read.)

will grayson will grayson: book review (becca)

title: will grayson will grayson
author: john green & david levithan

So I read this book.
I love the humor and the way it was okay for you to laugh.
I love the characters and the way they portray homosexuality.
I love the musical.
I love how it's so honest.

Tiny: he knows exactly who he is and the reader knows exactly who he is.
Will Grayson: he doesn't know who he is and the reader discovers him as the book is progressed.
will grayson: he thinks he knows who he is but that's the way he sees himself.
maura: a total and complete bitch.
jane: the pretentious music loving person who you can't help but feeling awe for her.

I can't describe any of my favourite parts because everything ties in to each other.

I had a quite a few people (okay, maybe like 3 people) ask me if this book was good, with which i replied with yes, it is very good. and this led to the question, what's it about. and response to that was it's about a two guys who are both named will grayson and capital letter Will Grayson has a homosexual best friend who writes and directs a musical and lowercase will grayson ends up with Tiny (the massive gay friend to capital letter Will Grayson) and then Jane and Will (the capital letter one) end up together and maura is just ugh.

They'd look at me a bit strangely. and then say, okay then.

But i'd add, it's really funny and good. if you don't mind the homosexuality part, read it.

I'd read it again.

Becca's second book: will grayson, will grayson

title: will grayson will grayson
author: john green

From the back cover:

will grayson, meet will grayson

One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two strangers cross paths. Two teens with the same name, running in two very different circles, suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, culminating in heroic turns-of-heart and the most epic musical to ever grace the high school stage.

Why I'm reading this book second:

I haven't read it yet. The reviews I've read have admired the humor and honesty so I decided I'd read it now.
