Title: An Abundance of Katherines
Author: John Green
Publisher: Dutton Books
Year: 2006
227 pages
Attention, geeks, dweebs, and pasty effete intellectuals: This lovely young adult novel is for us. My inner nerd is met and mirrored in this very enjoyable coming of chronological age novel. Speaking to the fears many smart young things experience, it also shows the (stumbling, awkward) progression to, well, being a big old nerd and a more or less serviceable young adult. It's got everything you need: Relationships plotted on the ordinate and abscissa, word play, Quranically-driven discourse, Archduke Ferdinand, and, as promised, an abundance of Katherines.
