An Abundance of Katherines


An Abundance of Katherines
Written by John Green
Published by Speak in 2008
272 pages.
Genre: Romance, Humor
Summery: Colin Singleton is a child prodigy who just graduated from highschool. For a super smart kid, he's kind of dumb. He's just been dumped for the 19th time. All his girlfriends have been named Katherine. And every last one of them has dumped him. Colin is depressed and unmotivated, so his best friend drags him on a road trip- a sure cure. They drive all the way from Chicago to Gunshot, Tennessee. There, they stay for a while. They make new friends, work a weird job, hunt pigs, and Colin tries to come up with a math formula that can predict romantic relationships.
Response: Very well written. Absolutely hilarious. Dorky- in a nice way. Too much bad language for my taste. Probably wouldn't let my brother read it. Probably won't read it again. Enjoyed it anyway.
Word of Caution: Frequent cursing. (I say frequent, and I mean almost every sentence the kids speak. Yuck.) Sex.
