An Abundance of Katherines - John Green

I am a fan of John Green. Honestly, I was a fan before I even read any of his books. Now I have made it my goal to read them all! I have recently read The Fault in Our Stars, which was just beautiful - and I know he has written some along those same lines; beautiful, romantic, sad. But I think this one is more along the lines of amusing, ridiculous and clever.

'19 Katherines and counting... 
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls names Katherine. And when it comes to girls names 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 blood-thirsty 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.' 

Definitely does sound thoroughly amusing. I find John Greens work very funny, witty, clever, beautiful and meaningful all at the same time. He is a very talented writer. I shall see how this one lives up to my expectation :)
