Quote and Paper Towns

I have an app called LOVE by Tiny Buddha and everyday at 4pm it sends me a quote and this one really hit me:

“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” -Thomas Fuller

Now for my review:

John Green is one of my favorite authors of all time. He is sarcastic, witty, intelligent, and humorous but also beautifully profound.

Looking for Alaska is in my opinion a masterpiece. Along with the Fault in Our Stars. Their deep meaning is relentless.

I recently read Paper Towns which had me laughing and thinking. Going an adventure with the characters.

I was ecstatic to see how it was portrayed as a movie.

Knowing how adaptions go I knew to keep an open mind. But honestly even keeping that in mind it was just sad.

The screen writers cut literally the best parts of the novel and remixed them into quick lines.

The main character Q seemed as though he was an obsessive weakling. Margot Roth Spiegelman was an insensitive tease (no offense Cara Delevingne I love you deeply). Radar and Ben looked ten years younger than Q. And the deep philosophical meaning of the chase was lost and removed leaving a cheesy love story.

I’m sorry but… What the hell.

No matter. Don’t go see the movie just read the book instead. (Said every book nerd ever) But still.
