Personal Review
I am a huge John Green fan, and it all started with the reading of The Abundance of Katherines. This story is an incredible view into another young adults world. Colin is not really like any kid you have ever met, he is quirky and brilliant but for some reason not exactly someone that you would be friends with. Hassan is my favorite character because he seems to compliment Colin and only make the whole story a million times better. This book will keep young adult readers interested and laughing the whole time.
Warnings: There is language and some crude sexual jokes. There is also Sexual content.
