Hello there,
This week I continued reading John Green's book "An Abundance of Katherines". So far the main character (Colin) is still grieving over his break up with Katherine number 19. But what hurts Colin the most is that he is always the "dumpee" in the situation, and he can't quite understand why this keeps happening to him. When his best friend finds him all depressed he tries to help him get over the break-up by taking a road trip. But instead of helping him forget, all he's doing is remembering how he became so caught up in the name "Katherine" and how much he had loved Katherine number 19.
As I read this book I find myself falling in love with it more and more. John Green always finds a way of combining humor and romance, and he never makes it cheesy or like a Disney movie. Another thing I love about his writing is that he makes you think of your own life situations. For some reason, even if you're not going through the same problems his characters are, you can always relate to them one way or another. And that's one of the main reasons I always find myself coming back to his books. His intent in "An Abundance of Katherines" is just to entertain. The book probably has a deeper meaning to it, but since I'm only in the middle of the book I haven't had the chance to understand what he's trying to get across. So far, I can tell that the author is using chronological order. He's telling the story from when he met Katherine number 1 all the way to Katherine number 2.
