Beschreibung

Katherine V thought boys were gross
Katherine X just wanted to be friends
Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail
K-19 broke his heart

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun--but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.

Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

Well…

Big John Green Fan here. First book i really struggled with to finish. The Protagonist is a prodigy. Every second thought is connotated with footnotes of explanations or mathematical structures. Couldn‘t Identify with it. Story was therefore pretty boring to me. But the ending was good and philosophical.

Was fascinated by the way, the protagonist thinks. All characters were funny and likable. Expected nothing less from John Green.

I honestly have to say that I LOVED that book. John has such an intelligent writing style it fascinates me everytime I read one of his books, he's one of the authors if you ask me. And how is he able to always make me consider my life choices when I read one of his books!??? I even have to admit that I really enjoyed reading the appendix even tho I suck at math. It was interesting and explained a lot to me.

It got 5 out of 5 stars because it was simply amazing. I adore John Green's writing with every further book I read. They are always so funny and intelligent that you just can't help but love them. Personally I liked it better than Looking for Alaska, mainly because I liked these characters better. The appendix was really interesting (and made me remind myself of math in school but it wasn't bad). I wish the book would have been a bit longer since the ending feels a tiny little bit rushed to me but else it was really perfect.

Habe sehr lange für das Buch gebraucht. Es hat eine schöne Message, zieht sich nur leider.

A boy with a history of katherines.

Loved this book. Every aspect of it was simple and calming. one of the few goodies from john green.

Generally I love his books and I enjoy reading all the craziness that his characters get up to but this was one book I'm not particularly in-like with. It just didn't quite hit me as an interesting read, and I found Colin a bit of a prick to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it was definitely well written and I'm glad it was as short as it was, but the story itself was of no particular interest.

3.5⭐️ This book was so cute and so differently from Green‘s other works!

Ich liebe John Green's Schreibstil ja total und das war das letzte Buch von ihm, was ich noch nicht gelesen hatte. Hätt ich's auch mal lieber gelassen, sowohl wurde ich mit Colin nicht warm, als auch hab ich den Sinn der Geschichte an sich nicht verstanden. Diese ewige Wiederholungen mancher Themen haben mich fast wahnsinnig gemacht..
