Better than the Book (and this is coming from an English BA)

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2004)

I just read this book, cute because of the diary-like entries, but not enough DARCY! Movie was better. Hugh is such a dope - really slimy. Darcy shines through every time. I love how this was based on Pride and Prejudice and how in the book there are mentions to the A&E Mini and to Hugh himself (amusing). One other thing I did not appreciate in the book was that Bridget thinks she's a cow at 129 pounds. Give me a break. I'd have to cut off both my legs to be 129 pounds SHUT THE HELL UP BJ YOU ANOREXIC TWIT. But, the movie was alright. See it if it's on TV - don't go out of your way to see it. And see it at your leisure if only to get every bit of Austen that's floating around out there (like I did). Plus, you get to see Colin as Darcy. (I bet he's gross in real-life, oh well).
