Paper Towns blogged by Sidney B.



Paper Towns by John Green
6 hours

Quentin has loved his neighbor Margo Roth Spiegelman since they were kids. Now in their teens, Quentin and Margo are on very separate paths in life until one night when Margo mysteriously knocks on Quentin’s window. Driven by revenge, Margo drags Quentin with her for one wild, unforgettable night of pranks. The next morning Quentin looks for Margo only to find she has run away from home. However, Margo has left a trail of clues to lead Quentin on one final adventure to find her.

A major element of this book was mystery, the hunt to find Margo and also the enigma that is Margo. The unknown creates suspense and keeps the reader on their toes, never knowing what will happen next. Not only do the mysterious elements of the novel keep the reader interested, it makes the work more relatible. Most people know a person that to them is a secret. While most do not seek to solve those enigmas, that is exactly what the main character, Quentin, does. In his quest to find and discover who Margo is he not only finds her, but discovers some things about himself. In Paper Towns, John Green delicately tempers a suspenseful mystery with humor and coming of age elements.

I read a book called Childhood Sweethearts from the wattpad website. The book was about a guy and a girl who were best friends and they absolutely loved each other. Then the guy (Carter) did something really selfish and so the girl (Lacey) hated him for a long time. When Lacey's parents go out of town they want her to stay over Carter's house and learn to get along. Eventually they don't hate each other but then Carter does something selfish again and Lacey tries to go kill herself and that's were I left off.  I don't think she dies but that's were the author stopped the book. I read this story for five hours in one night (14 chapters) because it was sooooo interesting. Thank you for the chance for me to give this to you!

The Fault in Our Stars (cont.) blogged by Nicole H.


The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
45 Minutes

I'm so sad and happy how The Fault in Our Stars ended! I'm sad because (spoiler alert) Gus dies! Why did he have to get his cancer back?! I'm so mad at John Green for making Gus die! But if he didn't die the book wouldn't have been so amazing! I'm also happy because the book was so amazing it had me crying. I'm also happy because Hazel and Gus's relationship is so perfect. It's so perfect that even once Gus died they were still so close. I am very happy with the way John Green wrote this book and I am planning to read all his other books too.

I am writing my review about the book The Fault in our Stars. I think the book is amazing! I love how a guy wrote a book from a girls' perspective. I think it's incredible how John Green could understand how a girl feels about love and put it into words. But about the book, The Fault in our Stars is about two teenage cancer patients, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, who fall in love. Augustus found a way to e-mail Hazel's favorite author of all time who said he wants to meet them in person and talk. So Augustus and Hazel fly to Amsterdam to meet him. Once they get to his house they notice he is drunk but ask him about the book anyways. But he gets very mad that they ask so many questions and is very rude towards them. After they visit and fly back home, Augustus gets really sick from more cancer.
This is how far I have gotten in the book and this is all I know. I hope to write another report about The Fault in our Stars again.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time blogged by Mya W.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon
1hour

    The book starts off with Christopher, who is going for a midnight stroll and suddenly sees his neighbor's poodle lying on the grass dead. He runs to help the dog and sees a fork stuck into the dog's side. Mrs. Shears, the owner of the poodle, calls the police. Once the police arrive, they ask Christopher a series of questions that he does not understand. Out of fear and confusion, he hits the police officer and gets arrested for assaulting a police officer.
    Christopher is a very smart boy. He can name every prime number up to 7057 and can name every country in the world and its capital. He also likes astronomy. Christopher is not very good with interacting with people. He is not very social, and he can never tell what people are thinking with their facial expressions.
