After the success of New York Times best-selling author John Green’s book The Fault in Our Stars’ movie adaption, Hollywood turned to Green’s novel Paper Towns to be their next summer blockbuster.

Both novel and movie follow main character, Quentin Jacobsen (Nat Wolff) in his last few months of high school. Quentin, or “Q”, lives an average life. He is in band, he makes good grades and he goes to bed at reasonable times of the night. That is until Margo Roth Spiegelman (Cara Delevingne) comes knocking at his window. Q has always loved Margo from afar and when she needs someone to be her partner in crime, she comes to him for a night he will never forget.

The movie, while straying slightly from the book follows Green’s characters as they learn about themselves and what it means to grow up.

As a reader, Paper Towns is a book I have read again and again. Walking into the theater, I was apprehensive of what “Hollywood” would do to my beloved characters. I sat, nervous that I might be sitting down to watch something beautiful become something horrid.

Needless to say, I was not only surprised by the movie but I found myself once again falling in love with the character’s wit and sass. Director Jake Schreier bring Green’s novel to life, adding in his own flair in the form of young love and the Pokemon theme song. True, the film does trail slightly from the book on some plot points, but as a reader, I found this did not take from the experience. The movie holds fast to the book’s original mood and tone, creating a film many will be able to watch again and again.
