Who is Margo Roth Spiegelman? That is exactly what Quentin Jacobson would like to know,or more importantly where is she. He's loved her for as long as he can remember,she on the other hand hasn't paid attention to him for many years until one night she climbs through his window and asks him to help her with some things she needs to do. The next day shes gone,but not before leaving some clues behind for him to follow. I found that this book drew me in and kept me wanting to know more and had me trying to piece together the clues myself.When I first began reading it I feared I was too old (being 24) for the kind of audience this book was aimed at,I didn't let that put me off and I am so pleased it didn't as the more I read the more I forgot about my thoughts during the first few chapters. This is the second book I have read by John Green and it impressed me as always :)

"In the same way as I chose Al Green I chose this because they are the first real electric blues band, they are just magnificent: the songs are great, the singing's great, the arrangement's are great, the sound is great - they invented it, pretty much. I got really familiar with this round about '83, '84. I was breaking up with someone and breaking up with myself really. For about a year that was all I listened to, I put it on and it never disappointed me. It was after all the Wire work and all the Dome records and all the various things. I put that on and was absolutely sold. Things were up for grabs, I wasn't really sure about anything else really, but this seemed really pretty solid for me. Incredible. Talking of John Peel, the last time I saw him before he died, he came up to me and said: 'What was the most disappointing gig you ever went to of someone you really liked? For me it was Howlin' Wolf with a pick-up band and I wish I'd never gone.'"
