Hello there!
As you know from my last blog post, one of my favorite authors is John Green. This week I started reading "An Abundance of Katherines". An Abundance of Katherines basically talks about a boy's struggle with dating girls named Katherine. Even though he's already been dumped by 19 of them, he's hoping that one day he'll find a Katherine that would be worth it and won't get tired of him.
I'm only in the third chapter of the book, but by the first page I was already in love with it. Even though it talks about heart-break, I found it quite comical. I mean who would only go out with girls named Katherine? Another reason why I fell in love with the book so quickly was because of the way the author describes the pain he feels when his latest Katherine broke up with him. "But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something. He kept thinking about one word-forever- and felt the burning ache just beneath his rib cage. It makes you realize how just one word someone important says can affect you so deeply, and it's so detailed that you can't help but feel the ache yourself. If I were to write notes about this book, I would most likely use a list. I would use a list because it would be the easiest way to keep track of important details. For example, like how the main character would only date Katherines, and how his parents only ever talk to him when they think something is wrong with him.
