Paper Towns

Imagine a hybrid of Scooby Doo and The Catcher in the Rye and you get a little of this novel's flavor - The Financial Times

Green's prose is astounding – from hilarious, hyperintellectual trash talk and shtick, to complex philosophizing, to devastating observation and truths. He nails it – exactly how a thing feels, looks, affects – page after page – School Library Journal

Genuine – and genuinely funny – dialogue, a satisfyingly tangled but not unbelievable mystery and delightful secondary characters ― Kirkus Reviews
