《Paper Towns》John Green
精彩程度遠遜預期，失望！

青梅竹馬但性格迴異的男女主角。男的安分守，循規蹈矩；女的則自我中心，任意妄為。

Here what’s not beautiful about it: from here, you can’t see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You see how fake it all is. It’s not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It’s a paper town… look at all hose cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All paper kid drinking beer some burn bought for them at paper convenience store. Every one demented with the mania of owning things. All the thing paper thin and paper-frail.

自以為很有見地，其實不過是愛情失意時的悔氣話。對朋友失去信心，對家庭毫無眷戀，決心離家出走，尋覓理想的人生。

奈何臨行前留下含模不清的訊息，令男孩誤會她要自尋短見。為了拯救暗戀多年的女孩，他東奔西跑，還差點因交通意外而送命。在好友的幫助下，二人終於重聚，可惜過程並不動人。雙方的思維、價值觀差之千里，根本不可能走在一起。

也許是個人英語水皮，未懂欣賞箇中的浪漫，只覺得是個純情少男暗戀任性女孩的無聊愛情故事，實不明白何以會被搬上大銀幕播放。

雖然不討好，但也不乏發人心省的地方。

You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves… stop thinking Ben should be you, and he needs to stop thinking you should be him, and y’all just chill the hell out.

The town was paper, but the memories were not.

比起女主角的paper towns宣言，這兩番話可有意思得多了！
