P. S. Book

This was an easy but annoying read. I spend 3 hours a day commuting to work and home, so I have plenty of time to read. My dear sweet roommate bought me this on the guise that this was a really good award winning novel. At least she tried.

This book was horrid! The idea of a dead boyfriend coming back, or a second chance at love is a really neat and could be well thought out idea. But this was just lacking EVERYTHING that neat and well thought out was.

The lead character, Louise, is a vapid self absorbed late thirty something, that needs a life transplant. Generally when the character is so annoying at the beginning they go through some kind of challenging arc to make them better and more complete at the end. WRITING 101. She never changes, and her friends are completely deranged and patheticly horrible. Who would want a best friend like Missy. She's a bonafide starts with a C ends with a T.

The B line story of Louise and her ex husband is contrived and not very well developed.

I found this book very disapointing. And will probably never read anything by Ms. Schulman again, especially if it's dialouge is as innane as this.


I never have THIS strong of an opinion on books I read to commute with but, man this was terrible.
