A review by rwagemaker
Hector and the Search for Happiness by François Lelord

3.0

I don't often say this, but I liked the movie more. I may have liked the book more if I had read it first, but I didn't, so I don't. The movie was great, Simon Pegg is fantastic, and it made me think of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", or "Eat Pray Love". The book just feels patronizing. It made me think of The Alchemist or The Little Prince, which were also bestsellers and I also didn't like. Oh well.
Not that it's horrible, and I'm not even done with it (I'm only half way through) so I could change my mind. It's just, so far, it's alright *shrug*.
