Strengths This novel has many strengths. The novel promotes the idea of following your dreams. No matter what anyone else is telling you to do you need to do what makes you happy. This novel is very supportive and goes against society's version of life. This novel shows you not everyone is who they appear, life isn't what it seems. I feel we need more novels like this one to make society realize not everyone is the same. The author provides many details, and a lot of suspense in the novel Paper Towns.
Weaknesses The only weakness I found while reading this story, is that the novel takes a long time to show what each clue means making it drag on a little. But once you start getting annoyed, it explains what each clue means.
Rating I believe this novel is 4 and a half stars out of 5. I recommend this novel to my peers, because of the fact that the story gives you a completely different out look on life. Also, if you're struggling with going against society's idea of what your future should be, it shows you that it's 110% okay to do what you want to do.
