REVIEW:
I didn’t think disappointment could be an emotion I would feel after reading a book of John Green but I was wrong. He built Paper Towns up and tapped it with his finger. There was no tornado to upright it. The weatherman called for shelter and gave warning but it only led to an anticlimactic event, one that left me asking, “That’s it?” It was hilarious and poignant and sometimes outrageous, until the last segment of the book. The mystery was captivating and the characters were hypnotizing, but the ending simply evaporated. I was enthralled and couldn’t wait for the climax; until it happened, then I had to force myself to stay awake and continue reading. Will power kept me going; not the writing, the story, or the characters. I love a book that lives on past the last page and, tragically, this book ended before it was over.
