An Abundance of Katherines by John GreenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 3.75
Goodreads Summary:
Katherine V thought boys were gross
Katherine X just wanted to be friends
Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail
K-19 broke his heart
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun--but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.
Actual Rating: 3.8
Colin Singleton is a brainiac.. Like seriously, he knows a lot of things about a lot of things. He has made it his goal in life to figure our this crazy mathematical equation (more or less a geometrical theorem) that predicts the everlastingness of a relationship.
Now, I'm not gonna lie and say I followed this theorem and understood it but wow, John Green did a pretty good job of explaining it.
Throughout the whole book I was kinda waiting for a revolution about the Katherines. Like maybe all the Katherines were really one katherine that kept coming back but no... there was really 18 Katherines..
It's strange because Colin thinks or himself as such a "nerd" or "dork" yet he's had 19 girlfriends by the age of 18... I don't think that's a normal number for a dork.
Hassan and Colin's friendship is my favorite.. There were a lot of boring parts of this book but Hassan & Colin were usually being entertaining during the boring spots so I was still laughing..
Unfortunately this was my least favorite of all John Green's book but it still had a cute message and love story and was really well thought out so I can appreciate the good work and will continue to support him in any future endeavors.
