Negative Positive
Title: seriously?
Review: I guess everyone found this book funny except me. Just as in the previous 2 in the series, I wanted to punch Becky for being such a stupid, selfish cow rather than cheer for her. I bought the book b/c of the good reviews here. I have read the original Shopaholic at least 5 times and adored it for its humor and page turning laughs. 'Shopaholic Takes Manhattan' continued the storyline nicely...but the laughs end when it's the same recycled plot and the protagonist never--ever--grows up. It's not "cute" that a woman in her *late 20's* (does anyone else realize this?) still giggles, LIES, and shops her way out of everyday situations. Where I used to love Becky, I now loathe her. Between the last 2 books I wonder why Luke would stay married to such a braindead bimbo. Yes, these books are an escape from reality, but there's also something called an insult to a reader's intelligence, and this series has definitely crossed that line.
Is the review positive or negative?
