Paper Towns by John Green

   Just finished this book mere minutes ago, and there is surely something to be said about this arrangement of words on series of pages. The entire book is written with a flow and iconic style that I have never witnessed before but absolutely enjoyed. I had realized something about this casual literary genius that is John Green during my time reading his works (unfortunately I have only conquered three thus far) and dear John Green has this ideal person, and of course I have no idea why Green is so infatuated with this individual but he seems to adore this seemingly average person who does not paint masterpieces that freeze time and space, or plays songs so beautifully that your heart melts and then takes over your mind and melts that too, or write speeches that stop worlds from orbiting, but is simply extraordinary in everyday ordinary life. In his books you read from the view point of someone who recognizes the extraordinary existence of this human being who is so awesome and great just by being his/herselves and witnesses the phenomenal acts and words of this person. To anyone else, these are seen as unexceptional, but in the eyes of the main character every word, every movement is a unprecedented wonder.
   Why this matters is because of you. You may see yourself as this average person, but to a certain someone who you may or may not be aware of, every phrase you say and move you make is a bewildering and marvelous event. They love the way you look at something and how you think and by which you speak and the way you sit and and and… 
    With just the slightest movement, the most insignificant words, the smallest gesture, you light up their entire world in brilliance and beauty, and what’s the most astounding? You haven’t the slightest idea of the remarkableness that is you.
