Negative Positive
Title: Vapid and mildly offensive.
Review: Remembering the light-hearted enjoyment I got out of watching the film version, I thought I'd indulge in a little mindless summer reading and pick up the book. I found, not unlike some other reviewers, that the likeable, smart and believable character of the film often bears little resemblance to the spoiled and uninteresting character of the book. I didn't care what happened to her, I wanted to smack her pretty often, and there were even moments when I hated her and found her repulsive, such as when she described her new flatmates as investment bankers, Indian, and basically undistinguishable. In my books, this is unexcusable racist flap trap, and it gets two hearty thumbs down from me.
Is the review positive or negative?
