Paper Towns is an intelligent and thought provoking coming-of-age novel that centers around Quentin, a high school senior, and his two friends, Ben and Radar as they embark on a quest to investigate the disappearance of their classmate Margo Spiegelman. Quentin must decipher clues left by Margo in order to find her. Quentin believes Margo has committed suicide and he believes he and his friends will no doubt find her body when they have followed all the clues.
This is a wonderful young adult novel and this Instaread summary and analysis covers all the important plot points and helps sort the action and the characters. Whenever I read about a new title, I always first check to see if there is an Instaread available. It makes for a wonderful reading companion, especially when I’m not familiar with the author and his style. This Instaread is concise and well written and made my understanding of the book so much more complete. I highly recommend it.
