John Green pt. 2

“Paper Towns”…I just love that title; it’s so simple yet has such meaning. Thinking about it I imagine a whole town made out of paper.

Margo: “All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm.”

John Green puts a lot into that one sentence. There’s a reference to the over usage of natural resources, the fakeness of people, the fact that people are so fragile and breakable. Even though I’ve only just begun the book I can see that it’s not merely a story of entertainment. There’s so many underlying themes :D I love it! Who said literature for teens didn’t have a purpose behind the plot. If you need a book to read, you know what to pick.
