content: I had high hopes about this book after watching the movie, but was terribly disappointed. Andy was not the smart, good-hearted person she is in the movie. She was a whiny, obnoxious, shallow-minded woman who I found difficult to like. Not only was her character disappointing, but so was the intriguing personality of Miranda. The fabulous interplay between Andy and Miranda is almost non-existent and only really hinted at. The story line is also totally different. That in itself wouldn't be a problem if the original book was at least mildly interesting. The writing was not well done and it amazes me this ever went from lit. agent to publisher. The best thing I can say is that I love the title. Whoever did the adaptation of the book to the movie should be applauded because it seems the old maxim is wrong: you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
