She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Mass Communication. And that, more than anything else, makes this book worth a read.Īnum Shaharyar is a freelance writer. A point where Quentin is conversing with his parents on the dinner table or singing along with his friends on an ill-planned and last-minute road trip are moments we can all relate to. He understands his characters and audience well, offering dialogues and emotions the latter sympathise with.

In each of his books, Green routinely builds up the hype around the beautiful dream girl and then breaks it down.įortunately, this does not detract from the fact that Green knows how to write well and tug at the heartstrings of his teenage readers. The male leads are always collected and thoughtful young men who find themselves caught up with unpredictable and unattainable young women. Quentin and Margo are pretty much the same as Colin and Katherine from An Abundance of Katherines (2006) and Miles and Alaska from Looking for Alaska (2005). Green can arguably be criticised for rehashing the now hackneyed storyline featured in most of his work. Everyone around him has their own opinion of Margo which is mostly limited to her appearance and elaborate pranks. As Quentin moves further in his journey to Margo, he begins to realise that the girl he has fallen in love with might never have existed. It is here that we experience Green’s brilliance in the way the character of Margo is created: She is the archetype of an enchanting and exuberant pixie girl who injects life into her brooding lover, charming him with her quirky characteristics and eccentricities.īut of course, the story is but a destruction of this trope.

Following a series of clues Margo leaves behind, the besotted Quentin spends much of his senior year unravelling the mystery as to the real Margo and where she might be. The rest of the book meanders around Margo’s disappearance, helping readers acquaint themselves with Quentin’s family, friends and himself.
By the time night falls on their adventurous soiree, he falls even more in love with Margo, only to wake up the next morning and find her missing. Neighbours and former childhood buddies, Quentin and Margo have drifted apart over the years - just not apart enough for Quentin to overcome his feelings for her. The story is narrated from the point of view of Quentin Jacobson, a Floridian teenager who is enlisted by the beautiful pixie dream-girl Margo Roth Spiegelman to carry out a whirlwind revenge scheme. Through Paper Towns, Green takes on the idea of a manic pixie girl and decimates it. Released in 2009, the book has recently been converted into a full-length feature film starring supermodel Cara Delevingne and rising actor Nat Wolff and was released just last week. After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life-dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge-he follows. And while The Fault in Our Stars may have won hearts worldwide, it is in Paper Towns that one finds a true reflection of the ideas Green furnishes his fictional world with. Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. Prior to this, Green had already earned recognition on account of his popular YouTube channel, Vlogbrothers, and some other prize-winning novels for young adults. John Green’s bespoke novel, The Fault in Our Stars, soared to the top, with fans thronging to cinemas to watch their beloved Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters fall in love on screen. So sad that today you think you’re going outside for a walk and you have to go home and throw up and go back to bed.Last summer, as the curtains rose on the season’s blockbuster movies, one particular ‘chick flick’ gained much attention. So the whole approach was actually sad clothing, clothing that is even more sad that just a t-shirt. In doing "The Fault in Our Stars," I was coming from a place, from a girl, who didn’t feel good. Well, I mean, the character Quentin has a wanderlust for this girl, so we were doing things that spark.

She was really cinematic and she played a marvelous character.Īnd how different was it creating costumes for this movie than "The Fault In Our Stars?" Her tank tops weren’t hot pink, they were grey or off white. She wore a lot of Rag & Bone booties, t-shirts, shorts. Quentins view of his attraction to and relationship with Margo is ironic because he views himself apart from other boys his age but truly behaves toward Margo in much the same way.

Because at some point, she says she’s going to Dartmouth, so I wanted her to be a hottie, but in a smart, classic kind of way. Paper Towns study guide contains a biography of John Green, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. We didn’t start putting her in lots of hot pink or baby blue. But we wanted to show that she wasn’t cheesy. We wanted to show that off, so we did little tanks and little shorts. So Halston Sage, who plays Margo's best frenemy, Lacey.
