What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.

The vast majority of child prodigies don't become adult geniuses. Colin was almost certain that he was among that unfortunate majority.

　　From Booklist

　　Gr. 9-12. Green follows his Printz-winning Looking for Alaska

(2005) with another sharp, intelligent story, this one full of

mathematical problems, historical references, word puzzles, and

footnotes. Colin Singleton believes he is a washed-up child

prodigy. A graduating valedictorian with a talent for creating

anagrams, he fears he'll never do anything to classify him as a

genius. To make matters worse, he has just been dumped by his most

recent girlfriend (all of them have been named Katherine), and he's

inconsolable. What better time for a road trip! He and his buddy

Hassan load up the gray Olds (Satan's Hearse) and leave Chicago.

They make it as far as Gutshot, Tennessee, where they stop to tour

the gravesite of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and meet a girl who

isn't named Katherine. It's this girl, Lindsey, who helps Colin

work on a mathematical theorem to predict the duration of romantic

relationships. The laugh-out-loud humor ranges from delightfully

sophomoric to subtly intellectual, and the boys' sarcastic repartee

will help readers navigate the slower parts of the story, which

involve local history interviews. The idea behind the book is that

everyone's story counts, and what Colin's contributes to the world,

no matter how small it may seem to him, will, indeed, matter. An

appendix explaining the complex math is "fantastic," or as the

anagrammatically inclined Green might have it, it's enough to make

"cats faint." Cindy Dobrez

　　From School Library Journal

　　Grade 9 Up–This novel is not as issue-oriented as Greens Looking

for Alaska (Dutton, 2005), though it does challenge readers with

its nod to postmodern structure. Right after intellectual

child-prodigy Colin Singleton graduates from high school, his

girlfriend (who, like the 18 young women and girls whom he claimed

as girlfriends over the years, is named Katherine) breaks up with

him and sends him into a total funk. His best friend, Hassan,

determines that he can only be cured with a road trip. After some

rather aimless driving, the two find themselves in Gutshot, TN,

where locals persuade them to stay. There, Colin spends his spare

time working on a mathematical theorem of love, hypothesizing that

romantic relationships can be graphed and predicted. The narrative

is self-consciously dorky, peppered with anagrams, trivia, and

foreign-language bons mots and interrupted by footnotes that

explain, translate, and expound upon the text in the form of

asides. It is this type of mannered nerdiness that has the

potential to both win over and alienate readers. As usual, Greens

primary and secondary characters are given de*ive attention

and are fully and humorously realized. While enjoyable, witty, and

even charming, a book with an appendix that describes how the

mathematical functions in the novel can be created and graphed is

not for everybody. The readers who do embrace this book, however,

will do so wholeheartedly.–Amy S. Pattee, Simmons College,

• 轻松愉快的青春小说！

  作者：Michelle 发布时间：2010-12-17 18:08:32

  大概是07年看的了，因为喜欢作者，专门从亚马逊买了邮寄过来。

  书本身非常有趣，处处透出作者的wit，但是也因为这种小智慧小聪明太多了，John Green写的书就没有经典的厚重和大气，不过他专门写young adult novels，也不需要厚重和大气吧！

  还看过作者的Looking for Alaska，可以看出来作者本身是很幽默的人（其实看过youtube上John Green和弟弟Hank的V-blog的人都知道~），而且作者很愿意在语言和小说结构上花心思，几乎每一部小说，对话、情节、细节（remembering last words还有anagramming之类~）都有作者自己独有的风格。

  情节安排总是很有张力，特别是Looking for Alaska。这个第二部小说没有那么有震撼力，却轻松愉快的多，作为消遣很不错的，而且也可以一窥现在美国年轻人的语言~

• 向模式說再見

  作者：Finn 发布时间：2017-10-02 19:47:43

  我想我對用數學來解釋情感這事很冷感，而且在看的過程中，會一直覺得男主太執著於一條公式和一種理論，卻忘記再完美的解法，也無法一體適用，人的可能性尤是如此。何況整個故事，基本上就是因為主角兩人亂闖隨興才出現轉折，再完美的計畫也趕不上變化，重要的是面對變化的能力，面對不再是凱薩琳的未來，並記得伸手把握住當下。

  

  盡管公式寫法挺無趣，卻也揭示了像公式一樣，我們不該過度眷戀著舊愛，並企圖在每個新歡中找舊愛的身影，某程度上舊愛是為了讓彼此成長，才走出的，可惜有時我們太執著於自己習以為常的交往模式和習以為常的愛戀對象，久而久之形成了一個模式，於是惡性循環的結果，新歡永遠會和舊愛一樣，用近似的方式結束，之後甚至同男主一般，修改其實不是那樣的記憶，合理化公式和模式，自己讓自己走不出來。

  

  知道什麼、算出什麼未必重要，可是盡量去把握想要的很重要，否則寫出再多公式，公式也不會為自己帶來戀情。話雖如此，還是蠻喜歡作者筆下的青少年，總是有點傻萌、有點天真，受過跌撞，但會記得要為自己站起來，令人看到成長的青春。話說我一直覺得美國青少年的肢體暴力好像都不用負責任耶！打到出血都沒人去提告，法律意識那麼薄弱嗎？
