Crazy For You by Jennifer Crusie
4.0
Ah, what a pleasure, a book for which I have gladly suffered a day after an almost sleepless night - really I can't recall the last time when I went to sleep at 4 am, because I just wanted to finish the book.
What else can I say, is there a need for more praise? Well, maybe the thing that it was funny and sexy and even smart. Every one of us have that time when we feel that we need change, and sometimes there comes the situation which triggers this change and after some perturbations everything gets all right.
The love story was also very sweet - wasn't Nick cute, when he reasoned with himself and decided that he liked Quinn best, when she had a boyfriend, because he felt safe then? Or his Church and State division analogy - something maybe common for romance books, but delivered in a different, but a really nice package. But the best thing was the emotions and tension between Quinn and Nick, that is just what I like in my romance.
The worst thing (really, it took much pleasure away from the reading of this book) was the translation. I've read a Polish edition and there were parts where I had to stop and reread a part because I didn't understand the meaning or the connection between the sentences. It seemed to me as if the first part of the translation was done through the google translator and then clumsily corrected. Or done by someone for whom Polish wasn't a first language. I really wish I had read this book in English, if that were the case, I would probably go to sleep about 3 am and with much more satisfaction.
