Summary: A Blonde Lawyer Joke?
Review: A blonde lawyer joke? I have heard many blonde jokes and many more lawyer jokes in my time, but this is the first blonde lawyer joke, and there needs to be one, that I have run across. Actually the book, as is the movie, is an on going joke. Extremely humorous and yet one of great premise. And there is even a wonderful moral to be had in all of this. Cousin Vinny meets Bridget Jones? This story offers us love lost and love gained. Revenge and reward. Wonderful characters and clever and smart dialogue. I believe the movie was adapted from Amanda's first novel and she did a great job with the book. Elle Wood, the story's Fashion Merchandising sorority girl seemingly airhead heroine, worms her way into Harvard Law School for no other reason but to win back the love of her life. See the movie, read the book, but don't leave Amanda Brown's Legally Blonde off of your summer things to do list. General George Washington was once quoted as saying, 'When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen." Elle would modify that statement to read, "When we assumed the Blonde, we did not lay aside the Airhead." Actually that is a line from my next book but it seemed to fit here, so I used it, and you read it here first. Get ready to laugh because...here comes, Elle!

Summary: A Must-Read
Review: Elle Woods is devastated when her boyfriend Warner Huntington III breaks up with her, instead of proposing (like she had thought). Now Elle is on a mission to become a wholesome girl like Warner wants. Which is why she's on her way to Stanford Law School. It's now up to her to break Warner and his new fiance up, and claim the man she came for. But while at Law School she realizes she likes it very much, and even starts the BLDF (Blonde Legal Defense Fund). I recommend this book to all fans of the movie "Legally Blonde". While the book isn't exactly the same as the movie, it does resemble it, and is just as hilarious.

Summary: An excellent read!
Review: Elle Woods, California University senior, has it all. She's homecoming queen, Miss June, popular, wears the latest trends, and has a hot boyfriend whom she's planning to marry, Warner. But when Warner unexpectedly dumps her, claiming he needs a more "serious" woman to accompany him to law school, Elle doesn't just sit around and mope. She takes the LSAT to get into Stanford Law School (where Warner was going), and easily passed. Determined to get Warner back, Elle's hopes are basically ruined when she finds that Warner has a new girlfriend, Sarah, and they were engaged. Life at Stanford hadn't been going too well, either- Elle was considered the laughingstock of the whole school, and had a hard time making friends. Determined to graduate and to show Warner how serious she really was, Elle decided to stay at Stanford. I found this book to be full of humor, cringe-worthy parts, and those "You-go-girl!" moments. I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm not qualified to judge on it, but after reading the book, I will definitely see the movie! Brittany Marshalls

Summary: Elle is [not nice]in this book!
Review: I decided to read Legally Blonde after seeing the movie. I loved the film, I thought Reese Witherspoon did a great job playing the kind of girl everyone loves to hate, who is actually really a nice, sweet girl. I thought the book would be like that. It's not.
Elle is the kind of girl you just plain hate. At least, the kind I hate. Not only is she perfect, I think she kind of knows it, too.
I'm just about finished with the book, but I'm not sure if I'll actually finish it, Elle just pisses me off so much. I read that Amanda Brown based the novel on her own experiences in law school. If Ms. Brown is anything like Elle in the book, she's probably [not nice], too.

Summary: How did this mary-sue get published???
Review: I didn't know they published Mary-sue's. They're ususally restricted to bad fanfiction. So why is this appearing on the shelves? I saw the movie, and i really liked it. But this was ridiculous. Elle Woods is a Mary-Sue if ever there was one. For those of you who don't know, a Mary-Sue is a character who is pretty much perfect and is the hero or heroine of the plot. They end up well-liked and with everyone wanting to be like them. The overcome great adversity to get there.
It's very obvious Elle is a Mary Sue. She has special qualities and is automatically a shoo-in for her internship, she ends up with all the guys liking her and excelling in law school, and with Sarah trying to be just like her.
Not to mention she's extremely shallow. She gets mad that she is stereotyped, and does it to everyone else at law school.
Don't read legally blonde, see the movie.
