Reviews for Paper Towns

[JesusJaredML · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I didn't expect this type of story; I imagined something more cliché, but despite not being so, I still feel it's very unreal in many ways. The only thing I liked was that the protagonist didn't end up following the girl. Those lessons about letting go of love to pursue your own goals do seem good to me. (Translated from Spanish)

[ciegaporelpdf · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I read it ages ago, and I only remember that I liked the friendship between the boys. (Translated from Spanish)

[josebordaa · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I was honestly expecting much more, but it's not so bad. (Translated from Spanish)

[bitchderry · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It's entertaining, the thing is that halfway through the book, the reading became very tedious for me. (Translated from Spanish)

[sofiiiadla · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

It bored me too much and gave me reader's block; I could never finish it no matter how hard I tried. (Translated from Spanish)

[romr · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Too simple (Translated from Spanish)

[JuanCasco · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Easy to read and super entertaining, this is the first novel I've read by the author and I liked it quite a bit. I had bought this book in a lot and it didn't catch my attention much, but since I saw it mentioned in an analysis of Under The Silver Lake, I decided to give it a chance and was greatly surprised. I also recommend the movie, which is quite faithful to the book; Cara Delevingne is just how I imagined Margo. (Translated from Spanish)

[ingridlibroslib · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I wouldn't have read it if I had known what it was like. (Translated from Spanish)

[Rob001 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the story, but the ending disappointed me. (Translated from Spanish)

[paulacasals · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The book isn't that bad. My problem is that it's very slow and in many parts it even feels boring to me. I didn't like the ending at all. Definitely a book that is easily forgotten. (Translated from Spanish)

[altenitapaulis · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The truth is I didn't like it at all, it had a lot of potential and a nice plot. But they just ruined it, I didn't like it at all. (Translated from Spanish)

[LauSophia · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I'm not going to deny that it has its essence, but I expected more. To be honest, I prefer to watch the movie, and even so, I feel that everything I read in the plot was lost in the end. Despite the reflection that is intended, everything went back to the way it was. (Translated from Spanish)

[ludele · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I thought I would like it much more; in that aspect, it disappointed me quite a bit. (Translated from Spanish)

[MeryGrenat · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I read it a long time ago... It made me fall in love with it. I might reread it these days. (Translated from Spanish)

[maiigallo · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This ending represents my love life, that is: a MESS. Throughout the whole book I was hooked and engaged, but the ending simply DOES NOT? (Translated from Spanish)

[wgjsdef · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was the book that got me started on reading, very good. (Translated from Spanish)

[AniPerea · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A story of rebellion, adolescent love, how to get lost in almost ghost towns, and how to find oneself. (Translated from Spanish)

[GuadaR · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Good idea but bad execution. Also, I'm tired of the descriptions of breasts in John Green's books. (Translated from Spanish)

[MAOntiveros · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Honestly, I finished reading it out of respect for the writer, for their effort and bravery, as it is not easy to write and publish a piece. Additionally, I am not a specialist or a literary critic. It's just that, for my tastes, it became tedious at one point... and I lost the thread. I struggled to find the logic with which the author wrote it. (Translated from Spanish)

[LuisaSarabia · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I was honestly expecting a bit more from this book. (Translated from Spanish)

[Mar99 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A good book, but honestly a awful ending. (Translated from Spanish)

[Samyalvarez · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

You can't force an ending! I liked the development of the book, the search and intrigue of where she is, but it was all just a waste of time. (Translated from Spanish)

[Miranda123 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very good app, it allows me to organize my books. (Translated from Spanish)

[Camdenbooks · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It's a light and easy-to-read book. It grabs you quickly and it's hard to let go. I read it in just 3 or 4 days. It's not a super recommended masterpiece, but it's good if you're in the mood for light reading before or after heavier ones. I started reading without too many expectations, so it was fine. Overall, I liked it. (Translated from Spanish)

[rociomoraales · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I liked the book quite a bit since it is very much aimed at young readers; the plot is fun and exciting at the same time. It's good. (Translated from Spanish)

[Marti030 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It's certainly not the best book, but it's good; it's easy to read and quite enjoyable. It's entertaining for passing the time, but I wouldn't read it again. (Translated from Spanish)

[Cris ¿Qué libro leo? · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A very sad story. The author tends to write all of his books with the same rhythm and particular tone that makes you grow fond of his characters and feel the pain of their truth. (Translated from Spanish)

[Olasyletras · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Definitely a very good read for today's youth!
The teenager's feelings about the emotional situation are well developed...

Good book! (Translated from Spanish)

[coooni · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It's a good book, it has teenage drama, but the necessary kind, since the protagonist and narrator is a teenager. In some parts, it's a bit slow, but it's a quick read, one of those you can finish in an afternoon, great for passing the time. (Translated from Spanish)

[bloodysus · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It's a teen and young adult book, like others. I didn't really like it. (Translated from Spanish)
