Book #1: Paper Towns - John Green

i have just spent near enough all day reading this book.

this is book one on my list of want-to-read novels (here)

there is a long story behind wanting to read this book, but it basically comes down to one thing: i saw a picture of charlieissocoollike's sister reading it on twitpic. yes, superficial i know. but, after doing some research, all i could find was praise for this book, so i soon became pretty obsessed with tracking it down, and reading it.
luckily enough, only a few days after discovering this novel, my gorgeous friend Jasmine announced on twitter that she was infact midway through it. i expressed my great interest in it, and a mere four days later i had finished it myself. since 9:30 this morning, i have had my head glued to these very pages. desperately absorbing the plot and impatiently awaiting the conclusion. i measure a book on how many emotion-filled, touching and inspirational moments the writer manages to create, with a really powerful effect every time. this novel, made me lose count. i want to delve into every part of the story, and discuss every event, yet, i do not wish to spoil it for any possible readers, so i will simply say: you cannot come close to reading this story, without reading it. nothing can prepare you for this. John Green must be eating imagination beans for breakfast, because Paper Towns is teeming with creativity; pure comedy, fear, excitement and just overall memorably brilliant moments.

i am so glad i spent a whole day of my life dedicated to this book - no sarcasm intended
