Stars vs. Towns

I just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns by John Green. I liked both of them however I thought Paper Towns was amazing. I felt like Stars dealt with death while Towns taught us how to live, even though there was a death in each novel. Paper Towns took me back to the nostalgia of my past. I would have loved to have read this book when I was a teen. It shows the importance of being who you want to be as opposed to who everyone else wants you to be. Being three dimensional as opposed to a "paper", one dimensional and easily torn down, person. The only criticism I have about Stars is that the vocabulary of the main characters reminded me of the cast of Dawson's Creek. I always assumed that they had to have a thesaurus in their back pocket to know what the words they were saying meant. But that aside, those were two of the best YA books I have read in a long time.
