I must start by saying I was completely stuck to this i finished it in to reads and i would say it was definitely worth it. The character 'Rebecca Bloomwood' was completely mind-blowing, she was frank to the point of absurdity which was hilarious. The author definitely has a lot of imagination and used it pretty well in generating this amazing character. The way she plans her shopping list out of the lottery money which she is so sure she will definitely win is just out and out funny. She has a great personality and people can definitely relate to her and see themselves thinking, not exactly in the same way i would say but definetely close.
The fact that she is a shopaholic makes it more and more familiar to girls and ladies to relate to her even sympathize with her with all her helplessness. But as in the end she gets it all right, and in a manner that was brilliantly potrayed as justice.
What i absolutely love about this book is though the all so simple language in which the writer has epressed Rebecca's whole thought process, from an emotion of dullness to excitement, from nervous to embarassment, everything is so real and so frank that you really get the whole picture of it as if its a neighbourhood scene with the victim being a person you know really up-close.
I also saw the movie and liked it but I am definitely more impressed with the book though in my imagination I had Isla Fisher playing the lead of 'Rebecca Bloomwood' and Hugh Dancy as 'Luke Brandon'.
Though the movie as bit diffrent than the book itself but i would definetely say the book was better as in most cases they are. And it was a fantastic read to go through. I could actually see mysely laughing at her situations, feeling bad of her and also learning from her. It was a GOOD READ.
