Paper Towns #3

I was shocked at the end of the book. Not all of my assumptions came true. The ending was vague and I disliked that, but then again I do not know how to end stories. Margo likes mystery,but if she did not want to be found, she could have told Quentin. Maybe, Margo was not expecting that Quentin would actually figure out the message. This book reminded me of Going Bovine.

Paper Towns #2

I like how Margo's leaving of Orlando change people's personalities. Ben finally got a honeybunny. Lacey saw that life is not all high heels and dresses. Quentin lets his inner hero out. Quentin figures out that Margo has multiple personalities.

Paper Towns #1

I can imagine what it is like to be Quentin. He is so in love with Margo,but he can not really tell her because they were childhood friends. It is frustrating to have to decide whether to risk friendship for love or just let that possible romance fade away and then you regret it when you are older. Quentin has an inner personality that he is afraid to reveal because it goes against all the supposed and unseen rules of high school. You should just be yourself and not care how others judge.

A Long Way Down #3

After all they've been through, going on vacation and making a meeting to talk about their problems, they didn't notice that their lives were getting better already, because they now have each other. Martin see's that Cindy doesn't want him back, or near his kids, but he still has his friends and will not stop trying to see his kids. Maureen still has Matty to take care of, but she gets a job at a newspaper and her attitude is coming around. Jess and her parents are always going to fight, but now they have an understanding of where each other comes from, and they have big hopes that her sister is still out there. JJ is friends with his band again, which I predict they will try to make a comeback tour. I don't think they'll kill themselves ever, because they always have each other to lean on, no matter what, which is something rear to have.

A Long Way Down #2

On New Years Eve, the four of them all planned to kill themselves at the same pace. They had no idea who each other were, yet. Martin was the first one there, just as he was about to jump, Maureen interupted him, which delayed time. While they were talking out their plans, Jess came out and started screaming, but Martin just jumped on her becuase they werent suppose to  be there anyway. JJ was last,  but when he came he calmed down everyone. They talked, introduced themselves, and eventually decided that they shouldn't die that night.

A Long Way Down #1

At first, I didn't like how the author changed positions so much. It was confusing, but I got used to it. All four of them are extremly different, yet still have one thing left in common. They all hate their lives. Martin lost his family, and is famous for sleeping with a 15 year old girl. Maureen is a 50 year old mom, with a disabled son who can't speak, hear, and is basically sleeping all the time, he drags her down, and needs her 24/7. Jess is an 18 year old girl who just got out of a break up with her bofriend who treated her badly, and her sister ran away from home. JJ originally lived in America, but moved to England for his girlfriend, but they broke up, just like his band 'Big Yellow'. Now he is stuck as a pizza delivery boy in England.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time #3

When Chris started to let his father back into his life, I was kinda upset, because if that were me, I'd try to stay away with someone like that. However, after his dad dealt with the consequences, I didn't think he needed to be punished anymore. Christopher's life is back to normal now, he's doing better in school, he's living with both parents, and he's happier.
