Mr. Malcolm's List

3.16 AVERAGE


This dude is the most insufferable and unlikable main character I’ve ever read. And I’ve been stuck in Colin Bridgerton’s head, TWICE

Fuck Mr Malcom, fuck him.

there should be a book about julia instead

It was a bit funny and I liked Selena's character but Malcolm was acting like a little B***. Julia and Henry's couple was funnier.

so i liked the first half of this well enough, i needed a lighthearted listen on a long drive and it fit for that purpose…then they characters went to the country house and i truly am flabbergasted at why the whole second half even happened. i do not understand any of the motives, it was just shenanigans for shenanigans sake? also i feel like all of malcolm’s character development happened either off page or at the flip of a switch at the end…it wasn’t made clear enough for /me/ to buy his change in perspective anyway. also the side characters thought they were way more endearing than they actually were…i wonder if the movie is any improvement…since i didn’t know until the very end that it was published in 2009.
