amelianotthepilot 's review for:
An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
This is probably my least favorite John Green book but I still enjoyed it immensely. As always John Green's books make me happy in the way that I feel like I understand life for that brief moment after I just finished the book also known as a bookcoma, but then you realize that you don't understand life any more than the person next to you.
Anyways what I'm trying to say is that John Green's books are a perfect but weird combination between young adult love story novels and deep meaningful stuff about how small you are in comparison to everything else in the world followed by the continual fear of Oblivion which after reading all of John Green's books you will share as well.
My reasons for not liking this book that much is because of the fact that the main character, Colin, only dates girls named Katherine-with a K not a C-which is very important *dripping with sarcasm*. I'm not sure if that annoys me because it seems sexist to me in some way or another-and i know thats not the intension-but I just find the fettish really strange.
What I enjoyed in this book was the layout of the book. For those of you who have never read a John Green book, the layout and style of the book, in my opinion, displays the character and style of the book just as much as the words do. I liked that this book had exactly 19 chapters-representing the 19 Katherines. I also enjoyed the footnotes because footnotes are fuggin* awesome. (*I also found it funny that instead of having a bajillion F-bombs they say fuggin instead which is a reference to a different book[The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer].) The use of different languages and mathmatics was also an interesting aspect of this book, along with the relentless fun facts.
Overall it was a good book but I dont suggest it to people who (a) cannot stand footnotes (b) dislike random mathmatics in your books or (c) dislike whatever this abc listing is called.
