Re: Overall Rating and Opinion of "Paper Towns"
It was like my whole life in front of me. I certainly have similar philosophies and take on life.
Even wrote a blog post few weeks back.

That's right, I have a muse. It is spelled MusE. My writing is influenced by the interactions of people I meet - us and ME.

I had the same problem. I was unable to finish, so I won't be rating it. I struggled with caring about the characters.Katherine E Wall wrote:I was disappointed by Paper Towns. Perhaps, I heard too much about it before reading it. I found the majority of the characters were flat, although occasionally, there were glimpses of other facets. Now, I must admit, I only finished three-quarters of the book. I just did not become invested enough in it to finish reading.

But even though I didn't care for the two main characters, I found some good lessons along the way. First, even though you may see and hear another person, you don't know them fully because you haven't had the same experiences they have had. Second, everybody has a face they show to the outside world, and it's probably not who they really are. And third, we generally all expect people NOT to be who they are - we expect them to be who we WANT them to be.
