Title: I just couldn't get into this one.
Review: I tend to enjoy British novels--Bridget Jones' Diary, High Fidelity, Jemima J, etc.--but I just couldn't get into this one. I think the main reason for this is that I found the characters to be unlikable and too over the top; I just never really related to Anna and Dan, both of whom I found to be whiney and annoying. Also, Margolis over-uses metaphors to the point of ridiculousness--a good example is the "wooly mamouth" quote in the editorial review above. I think that this is supposed to be raunchy British wit, but I just found it to be stupid and not at all funny, unlike the other British books I've read. Perhaps fans of Benny Hill-type humor will enjoy this one, but it just wasn't for me.
