Booking It: An Abundance of Katherines


So, sorry, but be prepared for like, a lot of book reviews in the next few days. (I've gone too long without updating.)

Description:

19 Katherines and counting...
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is 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 bloodthirsy feral hog on his trail, and an over-weight, 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 and avenge Dumpees everywhere, and may finally win him the girl. 

My Thoughts:

To be completely honest, this wasn't my favorite book by John Green ever. I was sort of bored through about half of it. I got pretty sick of the word "fugger" and anagrams. And, quite frankly, Colin and his whining about Kathrine XIX. There were a few parts that were sort of funny, but overall, it didn't get anywhere near exciting until the end (and even that was great). I wouldn't recommend this as a first John Green book to anyone. Stick with, well, any of his other books.

My Rating:

I'd give An Abundance of Katherines 3/5 stars. I would probably not read it again, but I don't really regret reading it. It was alright. 

Leave me reading suggestions in the comments!
