I wasn't as loyal a B2.0 watcher as the rest, so I didn't have much spoilerage there. I think Alaska is more accessible than Paper Towns because the passages about Whitman could really really turn a reader off. I glazed over a bit myself. Great reference on the use of her name, Patti. I wouldn't have made that connection.joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869445294774863048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227580782059501910.post-15955085380227079312008-04-30T10:09:00.000-05:002008-04-30T10:09:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed it. And I really thought the dial...I really enjoyed it. And I really thought the dialog was cute and snappy. Having said that, i wish it had been less cute and snappy sometimes. You know that person that always has some fast comeback, they're always "on" and it is sort of tiring to be around them? I felt like there was some of that in the book. But I really did enjoy it, don't get me wrong. The mystery of figuring out where Margo was was fantastic. And I liked all the characters.<BR/><BR/>I got a big kick out of the fact that Q always called Margo by her full name. It really brought home the point that she was more of a concept than a real person to him. <BR/><BR/>SPOILERS...<BR/>It was a bit anti-climatic when they found her. All that work for what? And why did she put that comment on the dictionary webpage if she didn't want anyone to find her??? I don't think I would like Margo in real life. I liked it more when Q thought he was searching for her body. I thought it was morbid and awful and totally something that this self-involved girl would do. <BR/><BR/>I actually think it might be the most accessible of his books. Not just for the smart kids, but also for the mystery lover.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621172640017797805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227580782059501910.post-60774819100528962052008-04-29T21:37:00.000-05:002008-04-29T21:37:00.000-05:00Ok I just finished it today and I have to say I fe...Ok I just finished it today and I have to say I feel like I can't even really comment on it yet. I feel like I was in a daze during my first reading and need to read it again to really <B>get</B> it.<BR/><BR/>There were so many awesome hilarious parts and so many depressing things as well. I swear all of John Green's books are bi-polar! <BR/><BR/>One thing that surprised me was that I also watched a fair amount of Brotherhood 2.0 last year and it kind of ruined some of the magic of the book for me. Like I heard that joke before, I know where this piece is coming from so for some reason, it made some things I think I would have been in awe of before feel a little second hand. I know I'm weird and I really should feel that I had a special inside look, but somehow I didn't.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785722378889193364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227580782059501910.post-74969733889085070052008-04-23T16:59:00.000-05:002008-04-23T16:59:00.000-05:00Jenn, you can have mine.
