    I don't "get" Sophie Kinsella. I've read two of her books, and half read another, and in each one you know about 10-20 pages into the book EXACTLY what will happen throughout the rest of the book. Her plots are transparent. Kinsella doesn't have an original thought in her head. (She's no prose stylist, either.) To make things worse, she uses damn near the same plot in the three books I've read. She just changes names, locales, and situations. The basic plot structure is: girl unhappy at work, does something stupid to make it worse, girl makes ass of herself in front of handsome power broker, girl shops and gossips, girl and power broker have sex then fall in love, girl gets job she wants, everything is perfect.

  • Kinsella's characters are hilarious and endearing. Emma Corrigan makes me laugh because I can relate to her in some ways-- her awkwardness reflects a little bit of something in every female I know.

  • Kinsella......what else could you ask for?

    This is one of my favorite book. The story is quite surreal but funny. After all that's what you get with Kinsella. Surreal but pleasant books
