"An Abundance of Katherines" - John Green

18.

Pealkiri: "An Abundance of Katherines"

Autor: John Green

Leheküljed: 272

Raamatust: Katherine V thought boys were gross
Katherine X just wanted to be friends
Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail
K-19 broke his heart
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun--but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

Arvamus: Ilmselt raamat, mis mulle John Green'ilt kõige vähem meeldib. Peategelane käis mulle lihtsalt väga närvidele, sest ta ei paistnud peaaegu mitte millegagi hakkama saavat. Mulle küll meeldisid joonealused märkmed ja Colin'i parim sõber oli ka humoorikas, aga loos endas jäi midagi natuke puudu.
Ja tsiteerides oma sõpra: "Kuidas üks inimene üldse leiab nii palu Katherine'sid?" See jäi ka mulle mõistatuseks, hehe.

Hinnang: 7/10
