An Abundance Of Katherines is cool. Books with extremely smart people as protagonists (like in The Curious Incident Of The Dog In Night Time) are generally cool. Okay I take that back. Bindy Mackenzie was the first fictional character I wanted to murder. Haha ironic right, then in the end it turns out someone was plotting her murder all along and at that point she's become less annoying and you think "ohhh noooo run Bindy run!".

Anyways, An Abundance Of Katherines is cool. It's such a quotable book. John Green is brilliant. And Colin is brilliant. Anyone who draws graphs to predict relationships is brilliant right?

"Monotony doesn't make for painlessness. In the first century CE Roman authorities punished St. Apollonia by crushing her teeth one by one with pliers. Colin often thought about this in relationship to the monotony of dumping: we have thirty-two teeth. After a while, having each tooth individually destroyed probably gets repetitive, even dull. But it never stops hurting"

It seems cheem but it's actually very easy to read. It makes math fun. There, I said it. The maths part you can pretty much skip lah if you don't care to know the Theorem but I read it all and if you can't understand math theorems like me there's an appendix at the back.
