Hi everyone! I finally finished Confessions of a Shopaholic. I read it in a week, because my school didn't have classes for like 5 days, so I had lots of time to start and finish it. I bought this book for myself as a birthday present and I have been putting it aside for almost 3 months now. But I read it and I'm here to do a review on it for you all.
So let's start on saying how fantastic Sophie Kinsella is as a writer. Her writing style is just so smooth and makes reading so pleasant. I laughed a lot reading it. And the way her character interacts with us readers, makes the reading experience 100 times more enjoyable.
Talking about Rebecca Bloomwood...she is just the funniest, craziest, clumsiest and most relatable character ever. I just love her. She is probably one of my favorite character of all time, because she is so unique. When I say relatable, I don't mean that I am a shopaholic and I can't help myself from shopping, I'm actually the complete opposite. What I meant was that she is just very easy going and approchable.
I will most certainly continue this series and probably read other books by Sophie Kinsella. I'm actually very anxious to buy the next book, but I have to read some of the ones I already have and I want to save the series to read during the summer months. This series just screams summer for me, I don't know why. Porbably because it is a light read.
I didn't want to mention the movie in this review, but that's nearly impossible, because I discovered this series through the movie. Well, after reading the book, I thought that the movie adaptation was pretty off. The places didn't match, some situations didn't happend the same or at all and there were lots of characters missing in the movie. I hear people say that the movie is a mixture of the first and second book, so I will have to read the following one to be sure of my opinion of the book to movie adaptation.
I still love the movie a lot, it is still one of my favorites. But I like to separate the movie from the book or it will make me go mad because of its inaccuracy. So I enjoy them as if they were two different things.
So to finish the review, I want to recommend the book and movie to everyone who is interested in reading and watching a very funny, quirky, light chick lit novel or movie. This is the book that you want to read when you are stressed out, want to relax and have a laugh.
I hope you all enjoyed this review and if you want to comment something about this book or it's movie, please leave it down bellow. I want to know what are your opinions, specially on the book to movie adaptation.
I hope you had a great day,
Ana
