mschuyler64 's review for:
The Silver Linings Playbook
by Matthew Quick
Okay, first things first, after about two or three chapters of this book it became evident that it is essentially the adult version of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, it even had like that happy and sad at the same time quote. That being said, it was a far more disappointing version of the book in my opinion, maybe this has to do with the fact that I am an not an adult, but I doubt it. Anyway, I've compiled a list of
Things you should know going in to this book:
1. It spoils at least 6 other books throughout its course (The Great Gatsby, some book by Ernest Hemingway, The Scarlett Letter, The Bell Jar, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and the Catcher in the Rye) most of which I was planning on reading, and am now less inclined to.
2. All those really great quotes on the cover? Don't get your hopes up, none of them are actually contained within the book.
3. If I had a dollar for every time the word "swanky" was used I would probably not have to worry about my college tuition.
4. If you don't much enjoy sports you won't much enjoy this book.
5. I think I actually liked the movie better, which is a hell of a bash.
6. The ending was not very satisfying.
7. It's fairly predictable.
8. Name choices, 0/10 (Pat, Jeanie, Tiffany, Nikki, Jake, Caitlin, did you mean ew bye)
Overall, it was just a mediocre book. I wasn't particularly enthralled with it, but it wasn't horrible either. Pro key life tip: about halfway through the novel I discovered it's more enjoyable if you picture pat and tiffany as bradley and jen, try it out friends.
