I read John Green’s Paper Towns and saw the new movie based on it. Both are entertaining. Paper Towns tells the story of Quentin “Q” Jacobsen (Nat Wolff), a senior in high school who is in love with Margo Roth Spiegelman (played by British super-model Cara Delevingne). After a night of hijinks with Margo, Quentin thinks he’s finally close to the love of his life. But Margo disappears. Quentin cleverly follows the clues Margo leaves and decides to act on his impulses for the first time in his life. Any guy who’s had a crush on a girl will relate to this book and movie. The movie follows the book very closely. If you’re in the mood for a Young Adult coming of age story, both the book and the movie deliver. And the soundtrack’s pretty good, too. GRADE: B (for both)
I’ve never heard of any of those groups and I hate to leave my comfort zone.
I was going to say the same thing about the music. This one will definitely wait for cable. I did like the book, as with all of Green’s books.
Bob, the music seems to be designed to appeal to a variety of tastes.
Jeff, I’ve enjoyed all of the John Green books, too.
This is a Nope for me, but I do like Cara’s eyebrow game. “On fleek” as my kids would say–or did say until I started saying it.
Deb, Cara’s eyebrows are supported by web sites of fans. I predict Cara will be in another movie very soon after her performance in PAPER TOWNS.
