Title: Horrible book; much better movie
Review: God, I don't know why I bothered to buy this book. It's horrible! I'm amazed one can write for so many pages and have absolutely nothing to say! God, it was torture getting through this mess. Good for Ms. Weisberger that she was able to get it published, but good grief - did anyone notice the bad writing?The movie? One of those rare instances when the movie was an improvement on the novel (and I'm talking a MAJOR improvement). I wasn't crazy about Anne Hathaway, but Meryl Streep makes the movie. It's not a great movie by any means, but it's light, entertaining and a whole lot better than that dreadful book. (And yes, I read the book first before I saw the movie.)
Is the review positive or negative?
