I recently read An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, which was very good, but did not invoke the same feelings I had for Alaska. I have high hopes for Paper Towns though!

I didn't dislike it, but I didn't fall out of my seat. "An Abundance of Katherines" I thought was brilliant, but something about "Alaska" felt a little too rough-edged. I feel like I might appreciate it better now (a few years later) but at the time, it didn't blow me away even as I recognized its worth. It's very interesting to read other opinions on it.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.com
