Paper Towns

As stated earlier, I was reading Paper Towns by John Green and I finished it in about 3 days! Once again, no surprise to me, I couldn't stop reading. There is something about Greens writing that captivates his audience. Maybe its not even his writing style but the protagonist him/herself. They are always relate-able in some way or another and even if you cant find some small reason to relate there is something endearing or hilarious about the main character that enchants you. Aside from what I call is Johns "smart kid humor", meaning all of his hilarious nerd moments where a fellow geeks only choice is to relate, John creates a world of friends the reader can only wish they had! Whether that be now or when they themselves were young. The possibilities of interpretation of Greens writing style are endless and I encourage anyone to pick up a copy of his work, no matter which book you choose it is bound to me spectacular.






 I also finished the Dew Breaker and maybe its because a. I was forced to read it and b. I was forced to write an essay on it, that I dont want to really write a review simply because it feels like I have given this book more attention then it deserves! Perhaps is was simply not my taste but I did not enjoy this book, it felt dragged out and at times it was "sleepy" meaning more then once I found myself drifting asleep... but please dont let this review discourage you if you have planned to read it, in fact I hope this does the opposite, that it makes you curious enough to want to see how you feel.
