Book Reviews of About Schmidt (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
Book Review: About Schmidt - Take me to the movie - PLEASE
Summary: 2 Stars
All I can say is I was dissapointed. I mean, am I supposed to like this man? He seems way too self centered, too indulgent in his own pity to bother to see how much he has/had going for him. Also, can someone wake Mr. Begley up and let him know that all these women throwing themselves at Schmidt at one time or another ends up being ridiculous?!! Just wouldn't happen. Maybe if Schmidt were Mick Jagger or something we'd find this slightly believabale. Begley may be a good writer, (dialogue esp.) but i would much rather watch Jack on the screen who atleast brought something likeable to this character. I would do an about face before I read another About Schmidt.
