It sucks monkeyballs...

Donekyballs then?

I wouldn't go that far.

I wonder if she will ever stop congratulating herself for her self declared genius. I hate the book with passion. I hate authors who love to show off, and its not even good, so why write like it is...

But yes, she is quite fond of ... not necessarily simply being smart, but explaining that she is smart through analysing her own characters' actions for the reader. That is one of the things that does get to me every so often.


I hate her for making me feel stupid!

The main reason for my love of the book are the letters, I would say. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:00:13 PM 1548 Views

Yes, I saw it more as a criticism (satire?) of obsessive academia than a love-story. Tim - 07/07/2010 10:34:12 AM 1558 Views

It's funny. I'd have to reread, but based on what I remember I have the opposite view. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:06:57 PM 1539 Views
Coincidentally, it was also a digested read in the Guardian. Camilla - 09/07/2010 03:48:09 PM 1777 Views

It's a sign of it being a good book that you can like it for such different reasons from mine. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:42:39 PM 1613 Views
