OH MY GOSH THE MOVIE IS SO GOOD LET ME HAVE A FANGIRL MOMENT HERE

Okay, that was enough excitement. However, this sentence describes so accurately the movie. 

Probably the best thing about it is the fact that it is so accurate and close to the book without being boring and predictable for those who have read it. Things have changed but only slight -or not -details that make the movie a lot better than it would be. 

From a technical perspective, the movie was very well directed and executed with the right selection of music in each scene which made it a magical experience. 

From a fangirl perspective, it was amazing. I have expressed my love for the cast again in this blog and I was not disappointed. Each scene felt so deep and just like I wanted it to feel. The moments Margo and Q had during their adventure and especially in the SunSet building gave me chills!

So now let's talk about cameos! In case you didn't know two very special cameos are in this movie. People we know and love and have already seen in The Fault in Our Stars. Still didn't got it? Okay, then... I'm going to spoil the very obvious and easy to find right now. So.. *drum roll*

Yep! Ansel Elgort does have a cameo in Paper Towns! Our very handsome Augustus Waters -or Caleb if you prefer - is a gas station assistant and has two whole lines that I'm not going to spoil, too. I loooooved this part!

However, the second cameo was a very hard to detect. John Green does have a cameo, too. One that according to him, not even his wife could see. I actually had to google it when I came back home from the movies and I was surprised when I saw it.

All in all, I really did love the movie. It was hilarious yet heartbreaking just like the book. I do not recommend it only for John Green fans but for preety much everyone.

Have you watched the movie? Did you detect John Green's cameo? Let me know!

Until the next post...

The Hunger Games Mockingjay Pt2 posters

So I was scrolling down on Facebook a while a go when I came across an official Mockingjay facebook page post with the new posters for the upcoming and final The Hunger Games movie. 

If there is a thing I am utterly obssessed with is The Hunger Games franchise so you can surely imagine my excitement. 

Let's see them!

Each poster has the face of one of the main characters in black an white and a red mockingjay on their faces. Also, in the bottom, it's written Panem Unite D13 the revolution is about all of us.

Katniss Everdeen; a symbol of hope, leader of the revolution... the mockingjay.

No stranger to sacrifice, the baker's son; Peeta Mellark.

Safeguarding the freedom of the future... a brother to Panem; Gale Hawthorne.

Cressida; a visionary with an unwavering dedication to the truth. 

Rebel with a cause... Johanna Mason.

Protecting Panem with honor, strength and loyalty - Boggs.

A symbol of the love that binds as all - Finnick Odair.

Kind, patient and understanding... Primrose Everdeen, sister of the Mockingjay.

My personal favorite? Finnick's poster. I have a special fondness for Finnick so even a black poster with his name would be extremely appealing to me lol.

And after this huge fangirl moment I went on scrolling to find this fanmade poster...

I probably just spent 10 minutes laughing over this one!

If you haven't seen the Mockingjay Pt2 trailer yet, here it is!

What do you think about the posters? Which one is your favorite?

Until the next post...

Paper Towns by John Green review

Synopsis from the back of the book:

The thing about Margo Roth Spiegelman is that really all I could ever do was let her talk, and then when she stopped talking encourage her to go on, due to the facts that 1. I was incontestably in love with her, and 2. she was absolutely unprecedented in every way, and 3. she never really asked me any questions…

Quentin Jacobsen has always loved Margo from afar. So when she climbs through his window to summon him on an all-night road trip of revenge he cannot help but follow. But the next morning, Q turns up at school and Margo doesn’t. She’s left clues to her disappearance, like a trail of breadcrumbs for Q to follow.

And everything leads to one unavoidable question: who is the real Margo?

Ugh, what should I say about this book. It feels like every word is a spoiler yet I have so many things I want to share. 

From the very beggining, the prologue, I knew this book was special. 

Just like any other John Green book I've ever read, it left me with a bittersweet taste at the end. A book that leaves you thinking about a bunch of questions. How well do we know the people around us? How easy is it to leave? Why do we idialize the others? 

Q is the kind of guy that has his life planned. The kind of guy who doesn't believe in prom and hangs out in the band room.

Q is dedicated to find Margo, the girl how has loved since forever. He's hunted by the idea that Margo's disappearence means she's dead. He's willing to ditch everything to find her. But then what?

Margo is not a mystery. She's not an adventure. She's a girl that most have idealized. Q, for example, thinks that she's the most fantastically gorgeous creature that God has ever created. She just loved mysteries so much she became one. She just wanted to leave. 

No matter its bittersweetness, Paper Towns had some extremely funny scenes during the roadtrip, school and the party.

It definitely gained 5/5 stars and a very special place in my heart. 

And with the movie coming up this month it would be an understimation to say that I'm excited! I mean, the cast is freaking awesome! Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff are just ideal for me!

Here's the goodreads page of the book, John Green's website and the movie trailer (which is absolutely awesome by the way!) for more information.

What about you? Have you read the book? Will you watch the movie when it comes out? Let me know in the comments bellow.

Untill the next post...
