Ah, Sophie Kinsella, how I love you! You create such charming, quirky leading women!
I hadn't realized how much they changed and condensed when they made the movie! The movie was great, yes, but I hated how it was set in New York instead of London. After hearing the Can You Keep a Secret book on tape, I can't stand to hear Kinsella's works in anything but a British accent. And I also hate how they made Lucas the boss of her paper instead of the owner of a separate company. I thought the original story arc was much better than the one in the movie. They're both good, it's just hard to know that they BOTH exist. I think it'd be better to just have one or the other.
Also, Becky's shopping is only good in small doses. There is no way I could read all of these books back to back and not end up hating her. It is very slightly annoying to see her go to store after store and get totally caught up in the purchases, "This is the only sweater I will ever wear! It is perfect! And this is the best stationary. I'll never need stationary again!" Until the very next store, when she finds another sweater and more sets of stationary.
Although it just occured to me that I do that with books: This is the best book I have EVER read! IT IS SO GOOD OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO READ IT! A week later: No, this book! Read this book! You will love it soooo much!
