...I liked the movie
better than the book. Not only that, I preferred the movie to the book!
This, my friends,
happened with one of my latest read Idon't know how she does it by Allison Pearson. I went to this book looking
for something short and sweet. Something to change my mind. And in that sense
it worked...but I did not like the book.
It was well written,
it was easy to read in the sense that sentences were well constructed and
carried well. But the characters!!! I wanted to slap almost every single one of
them, particularly the main character, Katy.
The character in the
book is an overworked mother that convinces everyone that she can handle
everything that life throws at her while at the same time complains only to
herself and maybe her cabby about the fact that actually she can't. She chews
the inside of the cheek not to point out that her nanny/ cleaning lady/ colleagues/
husband/ everybody really, are not really helping her at all and maybe if they
all worked together they could manage.
The character in the
movie, complains, sure, and also tries to convince everybody that she can tackle
life...but she TALKS. She has actual conversation with her husband, she
actually stands for herself at the end and most importantly for me he says the
only thing I know is that it won't be perfect, but I can't and I won't give in.
So there you have it,
my first. Has it ever happened to you? Similar genre or completely different?
Have a great week!!!
