A review by muffinreads
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
2.0
I don't know why I keep trying to read what everyone else is reading because I hear about how marvellous these books are but I am disappointed when I'm met with some rather tiresome, clichéd characters that are characterised by a rather coarse and unrefined manner of speech and are placed in various situations that are meant to be funny but are sorely lacking in that respect.
Colin Singleton, a 19-year old prodigy (but unfortunately not a genius) is a "dumpee". He has been dumped by 19 Katherines. Of course, true to his prodigious nature, he begins working on a theorem-- the Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, to be exact. This Theorem is supposed to be useful to him in that it would predict all his future relationships. That's just the beginning and it's already cringey.
I think I'm going to stop giving John Green's books a chance now. You'd think I'd have realized this 3 and a half books ago. *sigh*
