5/23/2023 0 Comments Paper towns book 2Radar is a fanatical editor of a Wikipedia-like site, and his parents have the world's second-largest collection of Black Santas. Quentin's two best friends are characters in both meanings of the word: Both are band geeks Ben is obsessed with prom, thrilled to have a date, and likes to think of himself as retro-cool (he refers to girls as "honeybunnies," and Quentin is unable to convince him that it's not cool, it's just dorky). Margo is AWOL for much of the book, and Quentin is obsessively trying to figure out what happened to her - so it's his supportive friends who provide the reader with the humor and pure joie de vivre that makes the book fun as well as thoughtful. With his third book, Green seems to be developing a specialty: thoughtful, talky stories about smart but clueless high school boys trying to figure out girls, love, and life while dealing with a crisis and a road trip. The key to author John Green's success is his books' vivid and engaging characters, both major and secondary, who are trying to figure it all out.
