5.0

A great companion to the second Idiot Abroad series. Incredibly funny insight into the weird and wonderful inner workings of Karl Pilkington.

I started reading this book thinking, 'was there any real need to write a sequel?' and ended with the same thought. A shame really because I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and Weisberger's other books.

The characters were incredibly boring and any sympathy I had for Andy from the first book was quickly lost, as in this book as she comes across as a whinny rich girl who makes the most daft choices.

On an upside, reading it aloud put my daughter to sleep very quickly.

I re-started my Jo Nesbo readathon. Absolutely loved how dark this book was in somewhere so beautiful as Australia. The characters were complex and the story is brilliantly told in such a dry manner. The right combination of humor and darkness. Loved it, felt lost when I finished it.

Worth reading if only for the foreword! Loved the film but this was something else. The dual narrative was incredibly clever as your not really sure who to empathise with. Brilliant ending.
The Wedding Diary by Margaret James

Mopey girl, Cat, enters fairy-tale wedding competition for herself and self-obssessed boyfriend. She finds out they win after he has done a runner.

Adam - a moody but overly clingy guy who loves to propose gets rejected by his girlfriend and vows that he'll never love again.

The two meet and well...you can guess what happens!

Easy to read incredibly cheesy.
