Publisher Description
Paper Towns er historien om Margo og Q. Men også historien om et mysterie. Mysteriet om de mennesker, vi idealiserer så højt, at vi i vores jagt på at finde dem opdager, at vi leder efter de forkerte...
John Green udforsker med Paper Towns, hvordan vi føler med, forelsker os i og idealiserer mennesker, som i virkeligheden er irriterende eller træffer forfærdelige beslutninger. Kærlighedshistorien om Margo & Q giver læseren mere end bare en romantisk og sjov fortælling, men også noget at tænke over - hvilket efterhånden er John Greens specialitet.
Barndomsvennerne Q og Margo går på samme high school, men er vokset fra hinanden. Q følger fascineret fra sidelinjen den gådefulde, smukke Margo, som flirter rundt med de populære elever på skolen. Men hun bliver først et mysterium, da hun en tilfældig aften kravler ind gennem Qs vindue og tilbage i hans liv - med planer om en hævnkampagne mod alle der nogensinde har såret hende.
Efter deres eskapade-nat forsvinder Margo, og Q dropper sin eksamen og sætter sig for at finde hende, død eller levende, ved at følge de spor, hun har efterladt ham.
Q har brugt al sin tid på at elske den spændende Margo på afstand, men opdager først tæt på, at hun ikke er den, han troede, hun var.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Green melds elements from his Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines the impossibly sophisticated but unattainable girl, and a life-altering road trip for another teen-pleasing read. Weeks before graduating from their Orlando-area high school, Quentin Jacobsen's childhood best friend, Margo, reappears in his life, specifically at his window, commanding him to take her on an all-night, score-settling spree. Quentin has loved Margo from not so afar (she lives next door), years after she ditched him for a cooler crowd. Just as suddenly, she disappears again, and the plot's considerable tension derives from Quentin's mission to find out if she's run away or committed suicide. Margo's parents, inured to her extreme behavior, wash their hands, but Quentin thinks she's left him a clue in a highlighted volume of Leaves of Grass. Q's sidekick, Radar, editor of a Wikipedia-like Web site, provides the most intelligent thinking and fuels many hilarious exchanges with Q. The title, which refers to unbuilt subdivisions and "copyright trap" towns that appear on maps but don't exist, unintentionally underscores the novel's weakness: both milquetoast Q and self-absorbed Margo are types, not fully dimensional characters. Readers who can get past that will enjoy the edgy journey and off-road thinking. Ages 12 up.
