I read this book last year because it was a "best seller".
OMG! It was horrible! The writing was frantic and choppy and repetative! Horrid writing! And by the end I was so stressed out I felt like I needed a Valium. Plus I wanted to wring the neck of Andy, the main character. Can you spell "A N N O Y I N G!" Between her whining and attitude I wanted to reach in and choke her. Worse book I've ever read.
After I read the book I had to find out how this book managed to be a "best seller" and decided to look up the reviews on it at Amazon. Well, I should have done that to begin with because the bulk of the reviews stated "don't waste your money!" A few said the movie was far better.
So last night the movie was on one of the movie channels and I decided to watch it. I like Meryl Streep so I figured it should be good. Well, talk about being wrong! It was billed as a "comedy", I didn't laugh once. I enjoyed Meryl Streep but that's about it.
Has anyone here read the book and/or seen the movie and actually ENJOYED it? What exactly was it about it that you enjoyed?
