I came across John Green's videoblog with his brother on Youtube on this book. I found John Green already in his videos so hilarious that I thought his books must be just as funny. I started with "On Abunddance of Katherines" and am thrilled. I read it in the English original; I think that is important because otherwise a lot of wit would be lost. The book is about a child prodigy and his best mate who remain make a road trip and hang in a small town to the fight a heartache. More will not be revealed. The story is not the most important in the book. Rather, the individual characters and their quirks are represented very funny and herzwerwärmend. One loves each one of them after a few pages. I so often have to laugh out loud, that people have looked quite inclined in the S-Bahn. If you have her well invested your money with a book smart "nonsense" (sometimes total trash talk, especially when Hassan and Colin codenames and codewords for all compatible) want to read. Please read umbedingt. I'm doing right now on the next John Green books because I'm definitely a fan now!
