My opinion
Pluses:
Generally, there are more pluses than minuses. I really enjoyed the film although I didn't like the book very much.
1.: Funny atmosphere 
John Green's books have always the kind of humour which is specific for this author. However the movie was really hilarious and book ..... was as funny as a stone! :) I was laughing all the time during the film. And not just me, whole cinema was. It was great and maybe the funniest film of the year! :)

2.: Collection of Black Santas
Yes! This was the one thing I was afraid of missing it in the movie! Fortunately, it was there! :3

3.: Boring parts from the book were shorter
On the one hand, I'm not saying that the book was boring. No. On the other hand it wasn't the most exciting book of the year so I was glad that the boring parts were shorter and the movie looked more dynamic and interesting.

4.: Ansel Elgort in it
Yeah, the biggest surprise in whole movie. I hadn't expect he is in this movie, too and when I saw him it was great! :3 I really like him as an actor and I think he acted this little role pretty good!
5.: The End
I don't hide the fact that I hate the end of the book. So I was so happy when I realized that they changed it. It was more happy ending and less cliché than in the book. I really loved that and I don't care that this wasn't like copy of the book (I guess it is for first time :D).

Minuses:
1.: Trailer
OK, I can't remember different minus that this. It is horrible and it makes a feeling that movie adaptation of Paper Towns is most boring bullshit of the year. But it's not true, so let's watch that (I mean the movie)!

I hope you liked this second part of Film vs. Book and if you have some comments, write it down! :) And last thing I want to say is that Cara wasn't so bad Margo that I thought she would be.
