Staying In the Pink Mansion

After Colin had the idea of the theorem Lindsey's boyfriend arrived, who strangely is also named  Colin.Hassan decided they will call Lindsey's boyfriend TOC (The Other Colin) since he said Colin was the original. Then Lindsey's mother arrived and we learned that her name is Hollis Wells and that she owns the shop were Lindsey Wells worked and a factory in town who used to make textile stuff. When Lindsey told Hollis Colin was a prodigy she was totally fascinated and invited both to dinner. When they arrived Colin thought they got lost because they were entering to a gigantic pink mansion,but it was actually the Wells mansion. After they ate Hollis offered Hassan and Colin a job, they just needed to do random tasks on the factory, the shop or just doing some work at the town. They will be payed 500$ a week and so they accepted they will be living in the mansion.


WHEN COLIN SAW THE PINK MANSION.
"Oh, it's weird. It's like the poor man's thumb sucking,isn't   it? Anyway, I only do it in private" (Green, 66)

    The quote is interesting because she was bitting the inside of her thumb but that's not it but she said she only does that in private but she was with Colin so that's not private I think Lindsey is feeling                            really good around Colin.So good that she does "private" stuff around him. I ship them.

     "Colin backed away from the door then. It occurred to him that he'd never done anything else in his whole life. Anagramming;spitting back facts he'd learned in books; memorizing ninety-nine digits of an already known number; falling in love with the same nine letters over and over again: retyping and retyping and retyping. His only hope for originality was the Theorem" (Green, 92)

     This scene is from when Colin heard Lindsey and Hassan talking about how good Colin is at some stuff that people that aren't prodigies can't do so easily. And then he realised he had been doing things that had already being done and that the only chance to do something new something that matter he just wants to be someone who made something never has ever done before and for him the only way to do that is the Theorem.

    I like how the book is going but I would like more chemistry between Lindsey and Colin. I liked how the road trip took a turn when the decided to stay I was really impressed that Colin accepted. I don't know why but i am hating TOC I just want him to disappear he is so annoying although he hasn't appear a lot i just can't stand him. The way the book is written is like related to the fact that Colin is a prodigy and the theorem and I absolutely love that there are graphs and calculations on the pages it just makes it so much interesting. I do want to see if the Theorem works but I want it to be fast like I want like 2 chapters full of the Theorem but all at once. Since its a John Green book there will obviously be a gigantic plot twist that will make things difficult but it will still be brilliant. I want to continue reading just to know how the Theorem goes like the story is funny and interesting but the big plot of the story is the Theorem.

WAITING FOR THE THEOREM.
