Re: The Abundance of Katherines by John Green

Post by meghanelyse730 »

I honestly liked An Abundance of Katherines. Not only was it about adventure and love, it was about mathematics and the probability of love with girls named Katherine(which is kinda strange but super cool in the end).
Yes, John Green has written waaaayyy better books, but it's not the worst book I've read!
It is a little slow, but if you stick with it, It's a great read.

I somewhat enjoy John Green's books--most of all, Paper Towns--but this one...fell flat. I could barely read it, and to this day, the only thing I remember about the entire book is that he's has nineteen girlfriends named Katherine, and that he and his friend are obnoxious. I just couldn't get in tune with the characters.

I agree, not John's best work. It was my least favorite of his works. It was interesting and neat but at the same time it just didn't grab my attention like the rest. I am some what glad it didn't make me cry like ALL of the rest, but I also feel that if there was more emotion, it could have somehow been better. I do recommend reading though, it was enjoyable to say the least.

This book is absolutely wonderful! I loved it. It kept my interest the whole time, I think I may have read it in one sitting. I loved the unique personalities throughout the story. I also loved the little facts strewn in throughout the book! I would highly recommend it; one of my favorites.

Latest Review: "Hook Up" by Harvey Jones

Of all the novels by John Green, Looking for Alaska runs parallel to The Fault in Our Stars on the interest level scale. The story line is compelling and keeps the reader eager to continue the journey with Miles "Pudge" Halter in his craving for the mysterious and unknown beyond. The sarcastic, destructive, and romantically sexy Alaska Young is a brilliant co-pilot on his flight to find the Great Perhaps.

The two teens chase fanciful ideas and face reality with a brutal honesty that is quite relieving, and the hopefulness of Pudge combined with the reluctancy of Alaska create a contrasting cloud that you just know is going to release a crazy-beautiful storm of love, emotion and friendship.

I know this is weird, but this is my favorite John Green book. I found it hilarious, and loved the math in it. Although the plot wasn't that engaging, the narration was very well written.

Loved this book like all the other John Green books. Did anyone else find the ending a little bit weird like me?

I can't comment on whether or not I enjoyed the book as I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Despite this, I love all of John Green's work that I've read so far and really want to get around to reading this one.
