One month before graduating from his Central Florida high school, Quentin "Q" Jacobsen basks in the predictable boringness of his life until the beautiful and exciting Margo Roth Spiegelman, Q's neighbor and classmate, takes him on a midnight adventure and then mysteriously disappears.I know John Green is supposed to be a wonderful author; the reviews on the book are impressive, etc.--BUT this book left me wondering why everyone likes him so much. The description of the various social groups in a high school were right on and I loved the interaction of the group of friends...but, come on, how many kids would skip their high school graduation (and the parties and the family gatherings and the gifts)? And I guess I didn't think that kids think so deeply, looking for meaning and significance where there might not be any.
