The Book Report

 (Beware of the spoilerssss)

As you can see, the first book I am going to talk about is "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green.

I bet you all have heard about John Green, the one and only who wrote "The Fault in our Stars" (the book I read in only an one hour lunch break because it was so addictive I just couldn't make myself to put it down). 

This book was my cure to one of things that I like to call "a bookover". Basically I had nothing to read and just started to go bananas because of it and I thought picking up another John Green's book wouldn't hurt. Yeah, I guess I was wrong.

I felt different feelings with this one because it's not necessarily a sad story (Just Colin Singleton, a recently graduated student who feels like his prodigy days are over and thinks that will never become a genius because instead of believing in himself he believes in the statistics of a study made by some doctor and their special children (all of them prodigies). So after being dumped by the nineteenth time by a girl name Katherine he goes in a road trip with his friend Hassan. They finally stop at a small town called Gutshot (yeahhh) where they actually stay for quite some time while Colin works on his Theorem) okay, I thought this woukd come out shorter

But he made me sad. The whole of the book made me sad. And I'm not sure if I can explain why. I mean, I loved the book and the ideia of that Theorem..., ugh it was so out of this Universe I just couldn't help but smile at it but... Colin and his whole situation of becoming a failure just made me think a lot. I guess it's because I could relate to him (like not in a part of being a prodigy ofc) but in the whole failure thing. Because I just want to make a difference in this world, do something remarkable or be someone that people look up to... and that's what he wanted to do aswell. And the part where he talks about the books being the ultimate Dumpees (I guess I teared up a bit)

The book as also some comedic moments that actually work and made me really let out a laugh.

Although I really liked it, I think the end was a little too predicatble (I like being suprised okay?Okayyy) because I saw that ending coming five miles before it actually happen.

Still I loved when the actual action in the book was interrupted by the past story of Colin and sometimes one of his previous Katherines. That was not just an interesting way to tell a character's back story but a really clever way to make the reader hold on to the book like it's their own life.

So I decided to create this tumblr so I could talk about the books I've been reading/read and just hear what you all have to say about them aswell!

And maybe we could be friends idk
