A VOYA Best Book of the Year

“Green’s prose is astounding—from hilarious, hyperintellectual trash talk and shtick, to complex philosophizing, to devastating observation and truths.” —SLJ, starred review

“[Green’s] a superb stylist, with a voice perfectly matched to his amusing, illuminating material.” —Booklist, starred review

“Laugh-out-loud humor and heartfelt poignancy.”—Kliatt, starred review

“Green delivers once again with this satisfying, crowd-pleasing look at a complex, smart boy and the way he loves. Genuine—and genuinely funny—dialogue, a satisfyingly tangled but not unbelievable mystery and delightful secondary characters.” —Kirkus

"Stellar, with deliciously intelligent dialogue and plenty of mind-twisting insights…a powerfully great read." —VOYA

"Compelling." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

A beautiful story about loving the idea of a person before really knowing them. I think we are both held up by strings alone. And also blades of grass connected to each other so deeply that even when alone on the road of life.we are connected to each other on a deeper level!

Blades of grass

Loved the main idea. Great buildup. After listening to The Antrhopocene Reviewed read by John himself I was sad he didn't record Paper Towns too, but the narrator did it justice nonetheless.

Surprisingly good!

Loved to move so much that I decide to read the novel and to my surprise, it's even better than the movie
