An Abundance of Katherines- John Green (Vlogbrothers FTW!!)



On September 3rd, it was my birthday- for my birthday I bought myself a book- and a couple of others things, but mostly despite the fact that the paperback is ONLY $4- it was my primary purchase.
The book, of course is An Abundance of Katherines- by none other than John Green.
If you're really into youtubers- and don't just use youtube to watch music videos- or shit you're familiar with- you might have heard of him. He's a "nerdfighter" (as am I), and one of the koolest dudes on youtube.

But Back to my review:
Katherines was w/o a doubt one of the sweetest books I've read in a while. John Green is very eloquent in his description of male heartbreak- and i completely fell in love with Hassan (the brown immigrant best friend of the main character), Colin (the main character, prodigy blessed with an amazing memory and crazy anagram skills- used ALOT in the book/ got dumped 19 times by girls named Katherine- OUCH). They go on a roadtrip, leaving Chicago ending up in a small town. The story makes for major Lulz and seamless transitions from past to present. It was AWESOME.
