Book 2 of 20
"I've Got Your Number" by Sophie Kinsella (2 out of 5 stars)
I actually got this book based on Kinsella recommendations found in this thread. Sorry to say, I was very disappointed. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read, but it was certainly a chore to read. This book was quick and light, but from the first page I hated the main character. In fact, none of the characters were developed and I felt that they were all very stupid and annoying. My eyes are sore because I rolled them so often. I kept reading because I knew it would be a quick read, I wanted another notch on my book belt, and I was hoping that it would get better. It didn't.
I also have "Confessions of a Shopaholic" which I will read in the next week or two (after I feed my brain, I lost a couple of cells after book 2). I hope the author can redeem herself with "Confessions...".
Funny you should bring up Sophie Kinsella. I have just started my first-ever Kinsella book. I think it's "Remember Me." I have resisted these books for YEARS because they seem like vapid fluff to me (and that's OK) and i don't generally enjoy that. But some fluff has surprised me. There have been lots of positive reviews over the years for her books and remarks made that the books are hilarious, etc.
So far, I'm having the same reaction as you but I am going to give it some more time. The characters are kind of stupid and not "hilarious" in a good way. I don't know, I hate to be a snob but I'm feeling like one.
