I am so glad you liked it. It's funny...Yessss!! I am so glad you liked it. It's funny, but I hadn't even considered how the textual elements (footnotes, etc.) would be completely different in an audiobook-- I'm also glad you had a text copy on hand for reference, because I feel the footnotes and equations are a huge part of Katherine's charms. <br /><br />And I have to admit, I'm with you. Colin < Lindsay. She is, I think, my favorite of John Green's heroines, because she's more of a co-protagonist, while Alaska Young (LfA) and Margot Roth-Spiegelman are (admittedly) manic pixie dream girl-esque in their relation to the protagonist. They tend to be the mysterious and elusive catalyst for change rather than characters who growth is also charted throughout the book-- although that's less true of Margot, and not presented obnoxiously in either case. <br /><br />I bet Looking for Alaska would make a great audiobook, and I think Paper Towns was nominated for an Audie. Just, you know, in case you were curious or anything.Cassandra Mortmainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980440861507976453noreply@blogger.com
