Okay, so I saw Paper Towns yesterday, and I read the book last MLK weekend, and I wasn't a big fan, so this is coming from someone who thought the changes were okay. This may contain spoilers.
The acting was very well done in this movie (although, I'm not really an expert on that at all), and maybe only when they were little did I notice a difference.
The soundtrack also was very well done, and matched the scenes perfectly. (Anyone else watch the music video with Nat and Alex Wolff?)
The changes from the book to the movie I was okay with because I felt like the book dragged on a little more than it had to, which detracted from the overall goodness of the story. When they went and had to get back before Prom instead of before Margo left was fine, but only because of how much they chopped off from the book (which, again, I was okay with). The whole idea of the road trip was the same, and that was what I was going for. That was really only the huge change that affected a lot that I noticed (and remembered, because I forgot a lot from the book), so it wasn't that bad.
Diversity was low, but that was because the book had little diversity.
As a movie, I thought it was well put together, and overall good. Not my favorite, but good.
