Book Review of 'An Abundance of Katherines' by John Green

'An Abundance of Katherines' is a book about a boy, named Colin, who has had nineteen girlfriends all called Katherine. He is a child- prodigy but wants to become a genius, or at least famous. For this he has to create something completely new, or a new idea. But first he must get over his nineteenth Katherine dumping him.

One thing that I really liked about this book was the way at the bottom of some of the pages there was a glossary that linked to parts of the text telling you more information about them. My favourite being when he learnt 99 digits of Pi using a sentence where each letter corresponds to a number.

Although I thought that the ending was slightly predictable, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. If I'm honest, I didn't actually understand the appendix, at all, or I really couldn't be bothered to understand it, but if you like complicated things and graphs, then I advise reading the appendix!

But all that aside, the actually story is an amazing read and I really enjoyed reading this and it filled the time I spent driving around France on holiday. So as it seems, I have turned out to be a great fan of John Green!
