Did anyone else feel a bit of disappointment at the end?

This whole immaculate road trip amped us up for some big movie scene ending when in reality it just wasn't. Margo was amped up in Q's mind to be this untouchable more-than-human species, but she just wasn't. It was John Green finally putting us in Q's shoes when we couldn't do it throughout the entire book. Therefore, this quote about "what a treacherous thing to believe a person is more than a person" (i think is how it went) was not only for Q, but it was for the readers. What a treacherous thing to believe Margo had some big golden egg at the end of the hunt. She is just a teenager trying to find herself. That's it.(less)

Who cares if the actress who plays Margo is pretty or not. What kind of discrimination is that?! Honestly, it shouldn't matter. If the actress acts good, then great. If she looks like crap, whatever. You should be ashamed of saying what you did. Looks aren't everything, and if they are to you, that's just pathetic.(less)

can someone please explain this quote to me? "I mean, the thing about it as a game,is that in the end it reveals a lot more about the person doing the imagining than it does about the person being imagined" Radar told it to Q.

In actuality, it reveals very little about the lives of the people in the game. It's a theme throughout the book- that we fall in love with the idea of a person and not the person themself.(less)

It is up to you to decide if it is romantic or not because it is not a romance book but the whole story is based on Q's love for Margo so I find it a little romantic when I think about all the things he does for her. This book really made me think more deeply about a lot of things. I laughed, I cried. It is one of my favourite books and you probably won't regret reading it! :)(less)
