Es interessiert mich so gar nicht und auch die Charaktere mag ich nicht besonders. Wird sich das in den nächsten ca. 300 Seiten noch ändern? Vermutlich nicht. Deshalb breche ich jetzt ab.
Yes, it's pretty chick-lit-esque, but I really enjoyed it, and cried like a baby in it. It was a touching, easy read that is good when your brain just needs a break.
I saw the movie first, and hated the MC in it. Let me tell you - the movie is almost NOTHING like the book. I love this book so much. My only issue is the job situation as there was no indication that would be her dream job. Otherwise, I felt the characters were believable and everything ties up even if not in a neat bow.
This was a cute book, but not something I would usually pick up. I expected, honestly, for the story to make me cry at some point, but it didn't. It was a little "light" for the subject matter, in my opinion.
This was only 'ok'. It was funny in places and sad in places, but not as well developed as a novel should be. Ahern should never have got a book deal with this book. It is very light as literature goes, not a lot of substance to it.
Rare case where I liked the movie better. Hilary Swank nailed it and had me attached to and feeling for her character within 5 minutes. I'm impresed a 21-year old wrote this though, and obviously such a great movie would not exist without such a great concept and character development. It was a good book, just not as great as the movie, in my opinion.
Book is better than movie, of course, mainly because of character development and my aversion to Hilary Swank's acting.
Das war so ein richtiges Buch, wie man es sich von einer Frauenzeitschrift empfohlen vorstellt...
Here's the thing. If you've seen the movie first, like i have, it's going to be difficult to read the book. If I had never seen the movie I would've really liked it. But everything was different. From where they lived, family members, who the names belonged to what characters etc. it's sad really cause I was so looking forward to reading this. And this is the first time I've really liked the movie better.
Having said that. If you HAVENT seen the movie you'll love the book. So give it a chance if you like. I still enjoyed it once I got past the difference of it all.
