Book Reviews of Love Walked In
Book Review: A good escapist read, but has its flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this book and stayed up late a few nights in a row to finish it. It's a great book to read at a cafe when you have some time to waste on a sunny afternoon.
I did get annoyed with the cutesiness of the writing, which primarily surfaces when Cornelia is narrating. And I did get the feeling that the book was essentially a movie-treatment, written in hopes of selling the filmmaking rights rather than being a stand-alone work of literature that exists solely for its own sake. It's true that all the characters were a bit too perfect -- either perfectly beautiful, or perfectly quirky, in just the right charmingly filmable way. Despite all of this, I found it effective. I cared what happened to the characters, and I wanted them to be happy in the end. I liked them. I would even read another book about them, if I could. I'd say that's the test of a successful book.
I'm not surprised to hear that a film is already in the works -- but Sarah Jessica Parker??? Please -- I can hardly think of anyone who looks less like Cornelia. Cornelia is repeatedly described as being tiny - the same height as Clare, weighing about 85 lbs, and having short dark hair. The only thing Cornelia & SJP have in common is their quippishness.
