Don’t date Katherine!
April 8, 2008
Green’s eccentric narrative follows the exploits of Colin Singleton, dating girls whose names are Katherine, and coming up with mathematical equations that explain why said Katherines have dumped him.
After “Katherine the Nineteenth” breaks his heart, Colin and his best friend go on a road trip that lands them in Gutshot, Tennessee.
Jeff Woodman delivers a solid narrative voice complete with enthusiasm and energy. He embodies Colin by vocalizing his frustration and aimlessness while also executing great personalities and accents for the various characters Colin encounters.
Woodman’s smooth, animated tone produces an engaging atmosphere for this amusing novel.
Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel.
