An Abundance of Katherines by John Green


I started this book Saturday and finished it today.  Ok.  I'd like to say, that I already loved John.  I found him on YouTube when my all time favorite YouTube star and major crush, Julia Nunes mentioned the Vlogbrothers on her YouTube channel.  I hadn't read any of John's books until ...2010 or 2009, I'd been watching his videos faithfully before that.  But now this is the third book I've read by him and I think it might be my favorite.  I'm already waiting for another of his novels to arrive at the library, and plan to read all of his books eventually.  They go by very quickly.  They are great books to read in between my required reading --book club books. 

Ok so this story is about a genius named Colin, although he doesn't think he is a genius, just a child prodigy.  He has dated nineteen Katherines.  It starts out with him being heartbroken because Katherine XIX just broke up with him.  His best friend takes him on a road trip, or rather decides they need to go on a road trip and Colin takes them because it is his car.  They end up in some town, score a job, meet new people, and have an adventure.  Anyway, Colin is very loveable, obsessed with anagrams, and trying to determine a formula for relationships.  The only thing I dislike about the book is the ending snuck up on me.  There was a slew of pages left, and I was ready for more story...but that isn't what they contained.  Anyway, needless to say my love for John grows.  And the best part is, I've listened to all of his vlogs, so when I was reading the book, it was like he was reading it to me.  I could hear him perfectly.  And I love that too.  DFTBA.  <3
