ps I Love You, the book

FurBaby_Mom · Sun Jan 06, 2008 4:35 pm

Has anyone read it? If you know me, I can jam through a book when I like it. But this one? I can't seem to get into it. It's so trite and I'm waiting for the plot to thicken, if you will. If you've read it, does it pick up eventually? I've been reading it for two weeks now.

Hmmm . . . I have been thinking of reading that. I'd be interested to know what others think of it as well now that you've brought it up.

I enjoyed it though I admit I had parts that were slow and something that just didn't work the way I wanted them too lol. It took me longer than a normal book but then again it is 500 something pages.

I looked at it at the store the other day and chucked it back on the shelf. Does that help?

I'm surprised the book is slow - the movie is awesome.

I really really want to see the movie. I might pick up the book for the heck of it

I read the book last summer out of boredom. I liked it okay but have really no desire to see the movie because it won't have the Irish accents and town like the book. I prefer they would have made it more authentic to the book's plot and characters.

That's crazy talk - there are Irish accents in the movie. And an Irish town. It's not the whole movie, but it's there.Edited to say I just saw the book review in the Book forum, so I can see where you're saying it will be a lot different, but I love this movie, so I have to be really pushy about people going to see it.

It is an amazing movie that I feel every man should see! and maybe a note on the way in pointing out they don't have to be dying to do these thing's for us! Laura (Loralye78) and I saw it on New Years Eve and I would see it a million times over, which could happen between the cheap theatres and owning it!

Oh, I didn't know it did, koala!!!From the commercials for it, I haven't seen anything referring to Ireland on them. It all looks like it's done here in the US.Well, smack my arse and call me betty!!

LOL - part of it is set in New York - but the family is still Irish, and some of them (like the husband) are fresh from Ireland so they have accents. And parts of the movie are set in Ireland, with some really beautiful scenery.
