Book Review: Paper Towns by John Green


Paper Towns by John Green (2009)

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew...


Paper Towns is a book written by John Green and was published in September, 2009. This book is going to be released as a movie very soon, with Cara Delevigne as Margo Roth Spiegelman and Nat Wolff as Quentin Jacobsen.

I just got a few words to describe my experience with this book: WHAT THE...; OMG; MARGO WHERE ARE YOU?!, and a few others that describe various emotions.
This book was A-MA-ZING. I just love the plot of it and all the beautifully written quotes that Green put in this book, like:

"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person."
"If you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all."
"Maybe all the strings inside him broke."

This book tells a beautiful story, of how the love from Quentin to Margo made him look for her around the country. To me this book is perfect the way it is, it has some funny moments, some deep moments, some love moments, some suspense moments, all of that make the perfect story -just like all of the John Green books, which I absolutely love-

The cover of the book totally relate with this story, because -once I read it- it reminded me of the part when Q took the map and mark every place that Margo could have been.

That being said, i completely love this book and I highly recommend it, so if you haven't read it yet, totally go and read it, because it's super super good.

I want to apologize if this review was too short, but if you have been following my Twitter, -if you haven't all of my social media is in the side- you'd probably knew that my laptop died and I had to finish this review from my phone and I'm still getting used to write long posts from it. Thank you for understand. Have an awesome week!

THE BOOK BURGER TAG?!

So I love watching this book tag videos, and since I haven't started a Youtube channel to make the videos yet, I decided to incorporate them here. I hope you like them and I will try to make them as easy to read as I can.

This is the Book Burger Tag, created by RyanReadsBooks on Youtube {you can check it here}, so here it is.

The first thing is the bottom bun. Choose the first book in a series you loved.

The series that I love the most is 100% The Hunger Games. I just really enjoyed every single book in that serie, so I'm going for The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Now we need the burger meat. Choose a meaty (thick) book that you've read and enjoyed. (400+ pages)

When I think of a meaty book, the first one that runs through my mind is The Host. I think that it's a very good book. My meat for this burger is The Host by Stephanie Meyer. This book have 620 pages.


Next we add a thin slice of cheese and lettuce. Choose two thin books: one you've read and enjoyed and one you want to read but haven't yet. (200 pages or less)


For my cheese I'm going for a book that I already read and I really liked, and is special for me because is the first book that i have ever read. That book is Papelucho by Marcela Paz, is a chilean book series for kids that is really funny and has 111 pages.

For my lettuce I'm going for the book that I want to read but haven't yet. That book is Quidditch Through The Ages by J.K Rowling and Kennilworthy Whisp. That book is just 64 pages.


Time for a nicely sliced tomato. Choose an average sized book you loved or one you hated. (Between 200 and 400 pages)


My tomato is going to be The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. This book is one that I really liked and still like. This book have 289 pages.


Now you add a sauce that you've never tried before and you don't know if you'll love it or hate it. Choose a book that you thought you'd love but hated, or a book you thought you'd hate but loved.


This book is one that i thought I was going to love but ended up don't liking at all. I'm talking about Pretty Little Liars by Sara Sheperd. I started watching the TV show, and then I thought, why not read the books? My mistake. The first book wasn't so bad, but then I read the second, and the third, and realized that ALL of them were almost the same thing, over and over and over again.


And finally we need that bun on top to complete our burger. Choose the last book in a series you are dreading the release of/were dreading the release of because you don't want the series to end.


For my top bun, I'm going with Allegiant by Veronica Roth. I just loved the first two books so much that I don't want the series to end *cries desperately*. A lot of people already ruined the end for me, but I still don't want to end it.


This is what my final burger look like!
(Sorry about not posting pictures of the spines but a lot of them are e-books and google didn't want to cooperate with me -__-)
Now I want to see YOURS!
I tag all of you! So if you do this tag please comment you links so I can see them!

I hope you enjoyed this tag, don't forget to follow all of my social media on the side. BYE!

First Review! Ripper by Isabel Allende


Ripper by Isabel Allende (2014)

While her mom looks for the good in people, Amanda is fascinated by the dark side of human nature, like her father, the SFPD's Deputy Chief of Homicide. Brilliant and introverted, the MIT-bound high school senior is a natural-born sleuth addicted to crime novels and Ripper, the online mystery game she plays with her beloved grandfather and friends around the world.

When a string of strange murders occurs across the city, Amanda plunges into her own investigation, discovering, before the police do, that the deaths may be connected. But the case becomes all too personal when Indiana suddenly vanishes. Could her mother's disappearance be linked to the serial killer? Now, with her mother's life on the line, the young detective must solve the most complex mystery she's ever faced before it's too late.



Ripper is the first mystery-police book written by Isabel Allende, in a try to write something more than her awesome love and romantic stories.

I'm not a 100% sure how i feel about this book. First things first, I really like the plot of this book, because is something new of all that I have seen of Allende. The mystery of this book really keeps you hanging on the story, and makes you want to not stop reading; but, the plot twist at the end, made me want to shoot myself in the head. 

I'm not saying that the book is bad, at all -because I really enjoyed reading it- but the plot twist that Allende put in this book, just made me mad. Trying not to spoil anyone who hasn't read the book, just go and read it yourself to see what I'm talking about.

It felt 10 time worse than when you see the waiter in a restaurant bringing food that you think it's yours, but he just walks far away with that food that you are excited to eat.

I have nothing to say about the cover of the book, because it's really simple and sometimes that simplicity is good.

That being said, I really liked this book and I would totally read it again, and I'm excited to see if Isabel Allende -who is also chilean and I love that- write more books in this genre.
