A review by andreahrome
The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

Enjoyed the story, and especially the point of view from which it was told. I saw the movie first, so that was very difficult to get out of my head as I was reading- and there were definitely some major differences. The book was more realistic, and it was really insightful to see what was going on in Pat's head the whole time. I liked Robert DeNiro's character better than the father in the book, who was just kind of there, and very frustrating. I would recommend, but this isn't one I'd keep on my shelf and read again and again.
