Review: An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

(Please excuse the terrible photo - it in no way reflects the magnificence that is this book!)


19 Katherines and counting...

Colin's nineteen relationships have all started
and ended the same: him falling for a girl
named Katherine, and then a Katherine
dumping him. 

On a road trip miles from home, this
anagram-happy, washed-up kid prodigy, with his 
Judge Judy loving best friend riding shotgun, is 
on a mission to prove 
The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability,
which he hopes will predict any relationships future 
and avenge dumpees everywhere.
And maybe, just maybe, it will finally 
win him the girl.



   I. Loved. This. Book.

   There's just something about John Green's writing that is so flipping awesome, and don't even get me started on his characters! I loved the main character, Colin (anagrams and all) and Hassan (the Judge Judy loving best friend) was hilarious - though I'm not sure his Thunderstick jokes were his best material.

   I thoroughly enjoyed this book, from the start where a love sick Colin is certain he is nothing but a washed-up kid prodigy, to him finally having his 'eureka' moment, and realising that what he thought was true isn't so important after all.

You need to read this book. It takes you on a funny, roller coaster of a journey that will surely bring you to the place you need to be at the end.

   Well done John Green - yet another book of yours I have come to treasure!

Thanks!

Happy Reading!
