 Lee Farnell | Easily my favourite John book and the first one I read, so maybe I’m a bit biased. But I loved it so much. It’s one of a few books I can pick up and just read. I’ve read it eight or nine times now but I love it and I find something new and interesting out each time. Love it. |

 Adela Bezemer-Cleverley | I just finished reading Paper Towns for the first time recently (my brother gave it to me for Christmas), and yes, it is definitely MY FAVOURITE. I’ve also read Will Grayson, Will Grayson and An Abundance of Katherines, but haven’t read Looking for Alaska yet. |

 Julia | I read An Abundance of Katherines first, then Looking for Alaska and then Paper Towns. Alaska is my favourite John Green book but I really, really loved Paper Towns. (In fact I loved it so much I wrote a song about it, if anyone’s terribly interested, no pressure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYn3ry-b93Q) |

 Beth | I read them all in order as they came out and while I think Paper Towns is the best, Looking For Alaska will always have a special meaning to me because if I had never read that book I would never have found this community, which would then have made me never discover my favorite shows or bands or movies….I just don’t know who I’d be without it. |

 Amalia | I love Paper Towns. I read Looking for Alaska first, then Paper Towns, and both of them will always have a special place in my heart. Still, Looking for Alaska is my favourite, mainly because it was that book that made me fall in love with John’s writing. But Paper Towns is a such a close second. I just.. love it. I want to breath the book. |

 Marilla | Paper Towns is definitely my favorite. I liked Looking for Alaska, but I literally stayed up until 3:30 in the morning reading Paper Towns. And I really like sleeping, so that’s saying something. Also @Julia your song is really good! |

 Sarah | Paper Towns is my favorite of John’s books; I read them in order, and Looking For Alaska (which totally has a place in my heart now) was my favorite until then. I read it in a week flat, and stayed up until odd hours probably 4 or 5 nights in that week reading it. It was definitely a mirror of Looking For Alaska, and I liked seeing that different take on it. The ending took me completely by surprise, but I liked it anyway. I love Margo so much! |

 Dana | I was in a bookstore today, and I saw paper towns in the modern classics sections. W00t w00t. John is moving up in the world of books! |

 Isabela | Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska are the only books I read by John so far. I love LfA, but Paper Towns is filled with great quotes. I’ve also read it 8 or 9 times by now and I’m always highlighting something new. |

 Bella H | I absolutely LOVED Paper Towns. It was the first of John’s books I read. I was absolutely raving about it to all my family and friends. I really related to it and it taught me a lot. |

 Rachel | I read them out of order, first Katherines, then this one, and I’m just about finished with Alaska, but I think that Paper Towns is my favorite because of the meaning it has and Margo’s transition. She goes from this image and fantasy to this real, messed up and scared person, and I think that we all have that problem of imagining people for who they’re not (just look at today’s “celebrities”) which is why Paper Towns resonates with a lot of people. It was just amazing and a very emotional but satisfying read. |

 Haley | I bought Paper Towns for my boyfriend this Christmas, and he loved it. I’ve just started introducing him to vlogbrothers. Yay nerdfighterlike! |

 QED | Has anyone seen the Hitchcock film Rebecca (or read the book it’s based on) and think that there is a similar theme of characters preconceptions of each other getting in the way of really understanding each other? |

 Suzanne | @QED I read the book a while back, and I never thought of it like that before, but I totally can see where you’re coming from! I totally agree, though! |

 Rachel | My second John Green book, though I was an instant fan. I love that it draws on the good and bad of human nature so well and incorporates that into the characters. The duplicity in human nature is so overlooked sometimes and we are just seen as purely good or purely bad… there IS a gray area. In my classroom, hopefully in January, I will have a special collections bookshelf where my students will be able to check out certain books with parental permission. I plan on facing-out all my John Green books and strongly encouraging my students to dive into those fantastic waters. Anyway, I am going to go read a little, possibly finish the book, before I go to bed. I am picking up Katherines tomorrow at my library |
