I haven't read this yet, but it's on my (long) to-read list.

Side note: does it ever worry you that it's not really possible to read all the books that are out there? Or is just me? I get overwhelmed in bookshops thinking about how many I've read versus how many actually exist. And I'm only talking about topics which interest me (although they say you should learn about what you don't know, not what you do).

Anyway, I digress.

A lot of people have been talking about this book, and it's recently been made into a film.
I like Anne Hathaway, but her accent seems to have a mind of its own in this.
There's plenty of English actresses that they could have picked, is there not? Now, I haven't read the book so I don't know how people picture her character, but that accent annoys me.
And I like you Anne!

I just scoffed a ridiculous amount of Lemon Fizz Balls
so you can blame the above rant on sugar rush if you like.

Here's the trailer.
(Jim Sturgess is cute though)

Gahhh, I totally agree. How hard could it have been to find an English actress! Anne Hathaway kind of annoys me. Also, Patricia Clarkson is in it and she's not British either. Weird. I love British actors!!! Bring them on. It's a really lovely idea for a story though. And yes, Jim Sturgess is very cute (except with that hair at the beginning)

OMG OMG!!! I read this book last week! It's very good! Definitely a convoluted, very British story, but it got me hooked! I read it in 2 days at the bookstore ;)

Can't wait to see the movie.
