That's what I meant, I was just being too flip. Thanks for unpacking my comment for me.

Because this is what people should be worrying about in disease-ravaged Sierra Leone.

Apparently, she's going to host a show on TBS: http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/s…

Wow. Thanks for the insight. I assumed this was a ploy, like the other TRAP laws, but they actually believe this? It boggles the mind.

Jesus Christ. Can you shed some light on what their desired outcome is, because it's confusing the heck out of me how this fits into their agenda.

Beautiful! You two look so happy. :)

That was a hard choice, but I voted for libraries using the same criteria you did.

Just read the summary, and they don't sound that much alike, but I'm not going to make statements about a book I haven't read.

You mean Looking for Alaska? Yes, those two books are similar, and I didn't like them as much as his other books. I think John Green wrote Paper Towns in this way partly because he wanted to focus more on dispelling the MPDG trope than he did in Alaska (though it's in Alaska too if you look for it). I don't really see…

Yes, the trailer didn't convey that at all, I think so that the outcome will be a surprise.

The entire point of the book is that Q has put Margo on this weird pedestal that turns out to be a damaging lie. Spoiler alert: when he finds her, it turns out she didn't leave clues for him to find her, and she's not terribly pleased to see him.

Just found his tumblr post: http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com/post/114092564…

John Green is a weird man (I say that in a good way), but not for writing teen romance novels. If you say that's weird, you have to condemn almost every YA author.

That's the entire point of the book. Q imagines Margo as this MPDG, and gradually learns how untrue and damaging this is to both of them.

Jeez, Alconleigh, I usually love your comments, but I can think of few people who deserve their money more than John Green, someone who spends his time educating and entertaining people (for free), creating positive internet communities, giving thousands of dollars to charity, and encouraging his millions of youtube…

DFTBA Eldrich.

John Green said on tumblr that the movie follows closely to the book, and the trailer doesn't show what happens at the end (to avoid spoilers).

I know people can have different opinions about books, but the entire point of Paper Towns is how harmful Q's view of Margo is, and how she is not what he thinks she is.

The entire point of the book is that Margo is not a MPDG and that Q projecting this image on her is damaging and wrong.
