Illustration fancy: The Marriage Plot


Date acquired: early 2012
Emotional worth: 1 star

Do you sometimes have such high expectations of a book that you feel cheated when it is nothing like you imagined? Well, this book fits this category perfectly. The concept and the way it was written was quite clever, but the characters were so annoying! Half the time I wanted to scream and tell them to grow up! Well, at least the book cover is pretty funky.

  1. I don't have time to read much, I'm more of a movie person and I hate it when a movie is not what I expected!

    1. I think I am more picky with movies, I tend to do lots of research before I commit myself to a movie. Pretty silly I know.

    1. It had a lot of good reviews, I wouldn't be surprised if I am the only person who didn't like it.

  4. I haven't read this book yet, and was thinking about it, but now I'm not sure anymore! Maybe I should just read it and see for myself and then rant about it afterwards as well haha.There's nothing worse than books having annoying characters.

    1. I'd love to hear what you think. I just heard an interview with the author and apparently they are going to turn it into a movie.
