Title: not as funny as the movie
Review: I saw the movie some years ago and thought it was hilarious. The book is just so-so; I only laughed two or three times, the plot takes 3/4 of the book to develop, and the lucky coincidences and favorable plot developments are piled on so thick at the end as to be a little absurd. Having said that, there is a part of the book that I couldn't put down- near the end where Flora's plots start to have good effects, but before the last few pages where the author seems to go a bit overboard.
