criticism
The film service judged that the film adaptation of the novel told "routinely, albeit often a bit unimaginatively, of a tricky childhood love as a story of disillusionment". The characters would "never reach the depth of the characters in the novel". From the German Film and Media Review was Paper Towns with the predicate particularly valuable provided. The reasoning states: “Jake Schreier's adaptation of the novel by John Green is a successful variation on the 'Coming of Age' genre. The search for the youthful protagonists' own identity is skilfully combined with the dramaturgical element of the search. "
