If I ever go on a road trip I do hope to end up with such nice people as Colin and Hassan did. I would say that this book is a typical road trip kind of book, and it is pretty well done. Honestly I think that this was the best of John Green’s book that I have read so far.
But I did feel like the fast paste awesome end did make it up for the parts coming before. I felt like the book dragged for about three quarters of the book, but the last bit was like boom boom boom, and it was over. Hassan decides to actually go to university, and Colin finds a girl, that is not named Katherine. Each one of them deals with being lost differently, but in the end they do find their way. Colin is lost because of unfulfilled love for Katherine. Hassan has been slacking off for the past two years, not wanting to enroll to university.
None of them know where they are heading. Hassan and Colin are technically in the same position in life, they are both kind of lost. I especially loved the scene when he exploded on Colin’s ass in the car, when he had enough of Colin’s moaning. Sometimes I felt like Colin was Romeo, from “Romeo and Juliet”, especially Romeo from the first half of the play, the melancholically lost boy, that needs guidance from his peer. Honestly my favorite character was Hassan. I, myself feel like I should do something to make the world a better place so this actually made Colin super relatable for me, even when he loves math, and I just do not. I do understand this vibe that Colin has about trying to do something remarkable with your life, but I do not think that this Theorem is the way to go. Love is something spontaneous and magical, something that should not be put into numbers and letters. I strongly believe that there are things that are supposed to be put down into equations, but love is not one of them. So the whole mathematical aspect of the book just bored me. It is simply because I do not get it, I get very lost in all the numbers and letters and I just give up. Miles from home Colin starts putting his dating experience in an equation, The Theorem of Underlying Katherine, and somewhere along the road Colin meets a girl, not a Katherine.Īt school I hated math, and honestly I still do. To get out of this post breakup misery Colin sets out on a road trip with his best friend Hassan. So now Colin is done with high school, ready for university and just got dumped by Katherine XIX. And he has dated 19 of them, and they all dumped him. And Colin’s type is girls named Katherine, not Catherine, or Kat, but Katherine. So going into An Abundance of Katherines I was very skeptical, and even now two weeks after I finished the book I am not hundred percent sure how I feel about the book, but I will try to put my thoughts in order here for you guys.Įvery one of us has a type. I did enjoy Looking for Alaska better but still it is not on top of my most enjoyed books. I guess I am the only one who is not in love with TFIOS, I am sorry it just was not for me. Previously I have read The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska and I was not impressed with either one. So I gave John Green another chance, and I am not sure whether it was worth it or not.

How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not to think that life asks more of you than watching TV. ** From the New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska, John Green.
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. 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. 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. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars, John Green.
