With 10000 dollars in his pocket and a feral hog on his trail, Colin is on a mission to prove a mathematical theorem he hopes will predict the future of any relationship (and conceivably win the girl)
Alright. In An Abundance of Katherines, I enjoyed the characters John Green has created for us. Such as Colin- who from his birth was expected to quickly develop from his child prodigy stage into a mind blowing genius like Einstein or Newton but unfortunately didn't quite reach that stage. Colin's always been dumped by Katherines and he expects that trend to continue and now he's on a road trip searching for his 'Eureka Moment'.
Hassan is Colin's friend who walks the straight and narrow on his religion- no kissing or anything more with anyone before marriage, no drinking, no drugs and the list continues. And good for him I say. But on this road trip things begin to change.
And Lindsey- my favourite character by far. She's a spunky paramedic in training who lives in the middle if nowhere giving tours to see an arch dukes grave that she's more closely related to than one might think. She's fun and fresh- but she's caught up in her past. And she wants to know what on earth her mum is doing on angry phone calls when she thinks Lindsey isn't home. We have to keep guessing with Lindsey because John Green has portrayed her in such a way that is exceptionally lively and original to the others in this book.
But sadly, apart from his well written characters the plot really is quite basic and doesn't have much point. Only at the end do things start to get exiting and it feels like the first 120 so pages was just an extremely large introduction. I'm not happy to say these things because of my experience with John Green's books and they're usually so amazing, hooking you in immediately getting you to feel insane amounts of emotion.
But perhaps my expectations where too high after reading some of his other books. Am I the only one with this opinion? Comment down below what you thought if you've read it and share this page if you want others to know. Feel free to get the book if you'd like to read it yourself though.
