When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is 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.

"Fully fun, challengingly complex and entirely entertaining." —Kirkus, starred review

“Laugh-out-loud funny…a coming-of-age American road trip that is at once a satire of and tribute to its many celebrated predecessors.” –Horn Book, starred review

“Imagine an operating room at the start of a daring but well-rehearsed procedure and you will have something of the atmosphere of “An Abundance of Katherines”: every detail considered, the action unrolling with grace and inevitability.” --New York Times Book Review

“Funny, sweet, and unpredictable.” –The Minneapolis Star Tribune

“The laugh-out-loud humor ranges from delightfully sophomoric to subtly intellectual.” –Booklist, starred review

Honestly pretty meh

I can’t say this is worth reading. Over all kinda bland no crazy twists or heart wrenching moments.

The humor

I love how this book balances the humor and plot, the fact that it’s not like other teen comedy books is a nice touch

funny and a great find

This book sucks you in from the start. It reminds you of every geeky math nerd you knew and loved or hated, and that little bit of aspergers that lives in most of us.

Great book GREAT reader.

love this story and the reader just totally made me feel the whole book

Great story

I started reading this book several years ago in a hard copy and couldn’t get into it. The narrator was so captivating it wasn’t hard to get through this book now in less than a week. Such a great story with several different characters and voices. Has it’s funny moments that actually had me laughing out loud. Such a good unexpected love story.
