An Abundance of Katherines is about a prodigy teen, named Colin, that has only dated girls named Katherine. Upon graduation, Katherine XIX dumps him. He is a misfit because of his intelligence and he has a Muslim friend, Hassan, that is also a bit strange. They decide to go on a roadtrip to heal Leo's heart. They fall upon a small town in Tennessee and wind up staying awhile and working there. While there, they both learn a lot about themselves, love, and life.
MY THOUGHTS...
Although this book deals with kids who do not necessarily feel they fit in, it does so in a humorous way. I honestly laughed out loud during many parts of the book. John Green took a child that is working on trying to be the next genius and made it into a comical story. He does go into detail that at times seems a little much, but it helps to give depth to his prodigy character, Colin. I believe high school students would enjoy this book and probably relate to many of the issues Leo and Hassan deal with.
