I saw the movie first; maybe that's why I didn't enjoy the book so much. Maybe, maybe not. Ah, so I did gain something from reading 400 odd pages of White Teeth after all!

I listened to this on audiobook, and I’m pretty sure I got the abridged version. It was still great, but felt a little rushed/like I was only getting the parts that were featured in the movie

Funniest, sweetest, most feel good book that exists. I watched the movie first. And I thought, the book can't be as good or as funny and its even better. Why did I doubt it? This was the first book I've ever read that was truly funny. This is a regular beach/vacation read for me because it just makes me happy!

I had heard so much about this book. Probably too much. It was not bad, not at all, but while kinda funny, I was "meh - what's the fuss?".

Oh well at least I understand some of the quotes now. ;)
