Can you imagine having 19 times a girlfriend or boyfriend with the same name? Colin Singleton just graduated from high school and Katherine dumped him once, it happened already 19 times. Colin is a wonderful child who loves anagrams and reading books, learning at a level higher than the average student of his age and knows a dozen languages ...The boy decides to go on a journey with his friend Hassan. They have ten thousand dollars in their pockets (thanks to the wonderful boy who won it on the quiz show for wonderful children). When the journey can no longer be more boring, on the way they see a board with the inscription "Exit No. 212 - see the grave of Archduke Franciszek Ferdynand". They decide to reach the grave and learn something about the Archduke. They reach a strange place where there is no Katherine. For that is another Colin and his girlfriend Lindsey, who decides to invite the boys to her, and her mother has a summer job for them ... In his free time, Colin is working on Theoremat about Katherine's predictability, with which he hopes to predict the future of each relationship. Love, friendship and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke make up an explosive mix, let's add a bloodthirsty wild pig chasing the boys in the forest and at some moments we will laugh to tears, but will these tears be caused by Laughter alone? It is a funny, informative book about finding oneself, showing how much we can be confused in this whole course of life and how long we can dream about something that we can not have, having something better next to each other and not to notice it.
Katherine V - she thought the boys were ugly
Katherine X - she just wanted to be friends
Katherine XVIII - she threw him by e-mail
K-19 - she broke his heart
Will Katherine XX come?
I highly recommend this book as well as all other John Green's. He can write for young people and even if you do not read books - this one is different and you will definitely read it in the blink of an eye!
Very good..
