1.0 out of 5 stars Boring!, Feb 7 2010

This review is from: Love: A User's Guide (Paperback)

I was excited to read this after picking it up in a used bookstore because it would be my first encounter with reading a Clare Naylor novel. I had heard from others that she writes great chick-lit novels, but this really disappointed me. I found the main character extremely irritating and was unable to connect with her. I only finished it because I always say any book I begin has the right to be completed. It was hard for me to finish this one because I found myself extremely bored!

This review is from: Love: A User's Guide (Paperback)

I loved the characters in this book and wanted to move into the world that they live in - it's very easy to identify with Amy the main character, she's scatty and sweet and very real. The story's a bit like Notting Hill but the other way round, the girl falling in love with the hearthrob actor. And who hasn't had that fantasy? Who hasn't wondered what would happen if...? It makes you realise that you can live your dreams, if only through the pages of Ms Naylor's novel.

This review is from: Love: A User's Guide (Paperback)

I wasn't impressed by this book. Why? Because the way it's written could be much better if the author used correct forms of expressing characters' thoughts (e.g. direct speech). The lack of inverted commas makes the book not an "easy-read" but also some kind of exercise-book as you have not only to read and enjoy but look and think: "is it the thought of the author or Amy's thought?" I was often bored by that and by lots of mere words going in loooong paragraphs.
Could be much better. I don't even want to keep it or recommend to my friends.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time
I had heard good things about the author but this particular book was really disappointing. The lead character is shallow and unlikable and the author's tendency to address the... Read more
