Paper Towns: The Good and the Bad

        The best thing about my book is the connection between the two characters, Q and Margo. In the beginning of the story Q and Margo are young and get along very well. They go on adventures together and they become inseparable. Slowly as they get older they grow apart. They begin to have different friends and different friend groups. Even as this happens Q still holds strong feelings for Margo and the author, John Green, shows it in his text will examples like: "Margo Roth Spiegelman's silver Honda was parked in its usual spot" (Green 12). and "I smiled at Margo even though she couldn't see me... It wasn't even that she was pretty. She was just so awesome, and in the literal sense" (Green 14).                                         
    The fact that Q knows where Margo's "Silver Honda" is parked every morning shows some signs of obsession. Even as they Margo forgot about Q, Q never forgot about Margo. Margo always had a special place in his heart for her. You can tell by reading some of the things that Q does that he has major feelings for Margo and that he always has ever since he was little. Also in my second quote Q proclaims his love for Margo and later on he considers asking her to prom. I haven't gotten far enough to know what actually happens with there relationship but I hope its something good. 
        The worst thing about the book so far is that I feel like all the action is towards the beginning and none will be left for the end of the book. All of the revenge is toward the beginning and all that i am expecting will be left is punishment for what they have done. I also have made a new prediction for Q, he will do something illegal for Margo and lose his acceptance to the college of his dreams but he will eventually get over it because he will win over Margo and they will live a good life together.
