“I can't say that anything at all really happened in this book and I can't say that the end wasn't exactly predictable but I can say that it was a fairly interesting story for someone who doesn't mind reading a whole bunch of nothing.”

He is funny, smart, and a master of suspense. This book evoked many emotions in me -- joy and frustration at the forefront – and I found myself wanting more when it was over.

Colin Singleton is going through the identity crisis many teens undergo when they graduate from high school and can no longer use that to define who they are. But Colin’s problem is a little bit more serious – not only can he no longer define himself as child prodigy, but he can also no longer define himself as the boyfriend of a Katherine. His 19th Katherine has just dumped him, and Colin doesn’t know what to do. Hence the reason why he and his quirky friend Hassan end up in a little town interviewing people about their lives.
Colin is a likeable character; don’t get me wrong, he’s frustrating sometimes with his inability to just “be” without overthinking everything, but he’s still likeable. Hassan is hilarious as he attempts to ground Colin from his flights of fancy, and Lindsey (their new friend from Gutshot) provides the perfect balance. I would recommend this book to any teen who came into my library, and I believe that most of them will enjoy it.
”“Smart characters, big ideas, good themes. This is a book for advanced 8th graders, and intriguing and thoughtful for both boys and girls. ”
