Each section focuses on one of the metaphors, and it is mentioned in a number of forms. These represent the three metaphors used throughout the book. The book is split into three parts, namely The Strings, The Grass and The Vessel. My favourite element of the plot is the three sections.

It balances the comedy and the diary-like stories with the mystery brilliantly, by mixing them together. The trail of clues gives the book a driving force, something that makes you want to read on. The main plot follows Q and his friends as they try to uncover the cryptic clues Margo left behindвЂ¦

They have their night of adventure, but when Q wakes up in the morning, Margo has vanished. They hardly speak until Margo climbs into Q's bedroom and invites him to join her on a mission of revenge. Years later, our two main characters are in high school and have drifted apart. It's all fun and games until one day Margo and Q come across a dead body. Our protagonist is Quentin 'Q' Jacobsen, whose boring life is turned upside down when the stunning Margo Roth Spiegelman moves in next door. I was very eager to read this following how much I loved An Abundance of Katherines, and I decided that I had to read it before I saw the film due to my golden rule: read the book before you watch the film. Paper Towns is a fantastic, interesting and unique novel that I thoroughly enjoyed.
