the Towns were Paper but the memories were not.

When heard about the next release of the movie based on John Green's next book Paper Town, I hurried up to read the book that I already had and be ready for the movie. The Fault in Our Stars was very good and I had some expectations from this one either, but Paper Town was in some level lower both in the story line and in the message it reveals. The book is in John's style as usual - teen book with a proper message. But the message in this book is very tiny in comparison with the TFIOS

Banana the Writer.

Japan is one of the countries in my "To Visit" list, especially in the "Sakura Sakura" (Cherry blossoms, Cherry blossoms) season. I am in love with this time in Japan. As a person living in the country located in Europe but with Eastern traditions, Japanese people always seemed to me somehow cold till their movies or my fav cartoon Sailor Moon. But in all the books that I read by Japanese authors there are some kind of coolness that I cannot even express. I see the story line, characters, places - all in pale colors as I imagine them through pages. After reading Murakami's Norwegian Wood I watched movie and had the same feeling.

Recently I finished Banana Yoshimoto's novel Kitchen. One of my friends recommended it and I loved it from the first pages. But still all in pale colors.
