This book was a bunch of surprises stringed together, morphed into words, and compacted into paper; if I am making any sense. "She loved mysteries so much she became one." I think that is one of the best quotes from the book, but then again, the book itself may as well be the longest and best quote ever. (it's probably also one of the best because it's on the book cover.) "All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm." Now THAT'S the most awesome quote EVER. Back to my point : I loooove this book because while I can't really relate to the characters, the plot and the way John Green's words strings together and wraps around my mind is AMAZING. This book is one of those where you sit down, read, and doesn't stand up until the book is finished. The book is about Margo Roth Spiegelman, who comes through Quentin's window one night and takes him along on an all-night revenge scheme. She dissapears the next day and leaves Quentin clues to where she is. Then Quentin, along with Ben, Radar, and Lacey, sets out to find the awesome Margo Roth Spiegelman, embarking (it seems like the wrong word to use but still) on a spectacular journey. (Dear Mr. John Green, SECOND BOOK?)

Ok, I admit it : I really wanted to dump the book into the trash can halfway through it, thinking I was wasting my time, but if you were like me, let me tell you this : DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FINISH THE BOOK BECAUSE IT IS WORTH IT. (HONEST, REALLY.) This book starts out with the story of the Bishop of Digne, who unlike other bishops, gave up all his luxury to the poor. It then tells how Jean Valjean was not allowed into any inn because of his records : 19 years in jail, and the Bishop takes him. Here on Jean Valjean decided to start over anew and "be nice", and our story begins. I love this book because unlike most of the books I read, this is actually REALISTIC. Realistic as in, it's not the typical oh - so - cliché young adult realistic fiction where a girl meets a boy and.. you get my point. Yes, there is romance included, but it's not the cheesy kind. This book has a setting where poverty is so severe you have to fight and steal for food, and although the society we live in today isn't exactly that.. cruel, we can relate and understand the character's thoughts and actions. I totally recommend this book to anyone who likes to read realistic fiction but HAS PATIENCE. :D

I enjoyed reading this book because I think the plot is super creative and also because I could relate to the characters in the book. This is about Percy Jackson, a boy in New York who gets into trouble at every school he goes to and ends up being expelled. The book starts when Percy Jackson is sent to Yancy Academy, a boarding school for troubled teens, they go on a feild trip, where Percy runs a sword through his math teacher and she evaporates. Then Percy gets sent to a camp where he realizes that he is the son of Posiden, and a wannabe in olympus who is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries and fantasies, and ESPECIALLY if they also love Greek mythology, because I love how the author combines greek stories with the modern world. As I was reading this book I could feel myself looking at the world from Percy's perspective and I could understand his feelings and the reasons behind his motives. I can't wait to go on to the next book!
