Book four of my Booktober is An Abundance of Katherines which is another of John Green's novels. And you should be pleased to know that I was a lot more impressed by this one!
I was thoroughly gripped by this novel from the word go! It shows the story of a young man's journey to find love in the most perfect form. But he just doesn't seem to be having any luck at all. What makes it even funnier is that all thirteen of his attempts at a relationship involve a girl called Katherine. In fact, maybe that's what drew me to the novel. It gets to the point at which he's naming his past girlfriends as if they're members of the royal monarchy (Katherine the Second and Katherine VII). We are taken on a romantic (but a little bit cheesy) whirlwind adventure to meet all of the Katherines and learn where they all went wrong. And I guess I felt sorry for the protagonist on more than one occasion; I was practically begging the pages to let him have some success!
I really enjoyed the humour in the novel as it made the novel a lot moreover a lighthearted and enjoyable read.
In fact, the only criticism I have is about the spelling of 'Katherine'. For all 13 of them!
Keep smiling,
Kathryn x
