![]() ![]() Will Colin learn that there is more to life than getting dumped by girls with the same name and find a cool new girl (perhaps with a different name)? Will Hassan learn the meaning of hard work? Throughout the book we get a bunch of flashbacks to Colin\’s past relationships, but I can\’t say I was enthralled by these sections. Of course? I\’m not going to go through the plot, but let\’s just say it\’s very forgettable in comparison to Alaska. Hassan doesn\’t have a job and he has taken a year off before going to college. We\’ve got Colin, a depressed wannabe protege who has just been dumped for the umpteenth time by a Katherine, who is being pushed to get out and live by his lazy, underachieving friend, the comic relief character, Hassan. It took several sessions for me to get through this. ![]() Unlike Paper Towns and Alaska, I didn\’t read this in one sitting. Everyone always talks about A Fault in our Stars, but I was more curious about Green\’s sophomore effort, An Abundance of Katherines. And no, I didn\’t have to Google the names. It covers the meaning of life while introducing three unforgettable characters: Pudge, The Colonel, and Alaska. I liked it so much that I went out and bought Looking for Alaska and read that in an all-nighter session, too. I started with Paper Towns, which I got as a gift, reading it in one sitting. Let me start this review by saying I\’m a pretty big John Green fan. ![]()
