Hideous Kinky: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: A great book!
Review: I haven't completed the book yet, but so far it's been really good! I think the way she wrote it (from a child's view) was a really good idea, and it made it even more interesting! I loved the idea of traveling all over Europe and into North Africa....

Summary: More a travel guide than a work of fiction
Review: I kept waiting for something interesting to happen in this book but it never did.It was a pointless,boring narrative with poor,shallow characterisations.

Rating:
Summary: Much Better Than the Movie.
Review: I read this book because I am a big fan of Kate Winslet. It was a good book with a good story, however, I don't feel that we were given enough details about the characters. The text was too broad and many parts of the book kept me wondering.

Summary: Fabulous!!!
Review: I recently was interested in this novel when I discovered that there was a movie that was coming out soon, which was adapted from this book. I became particularly intrigued by this book upon reading the synopsis of the movie. I ordered the book from Amazon and found that I couldn't put it down! I love this book! I am currently reading it for the second time!

Summary: I loved this book..
Review: I thought this book was brilliant! I don't suggest it for young teens though because many of them would find it boring and pointless. True, not a lot happens, but it's still great in my opinion! I am still waiting for the movie to come out on video! I'm a huge Kate fan and that's what got me to read the book in the first place!

Summary: Certainly not "The God of Small Things"
Review: I was half expecting not to like this book because it's not like my average taste. But after a weekend of camping I really got into it and very much enjoyed it. I really want to see the movie, but I'm glad I got to read the book first because they always say the book's better.

Summary: not blown away
Review: I'm reading this book at the moment. I think it is written well, but there isn't much of a plot so far, and seeing as i'm nearly at the end, i don't think it will pick up soon. The story is told through the experiences of a young girl, traveling with her Mother around morocco. While at times you really do get a sense of the places and the people, its not as good as I expected. Actually I do find it a bit over-hyped and think there are better books out there. So in summary, not bad, but not riveting.
If you like more action and plot, don't go for it. And if you like well written books that appeal to the senses, CHOCOLAT is miles better.

Summary: Albany Theater
Review: If you are planning to see the movie, "Hideous Kinky," at the Albany Theater in Albany, CA--don't! Save your money. I saw it at the Albany Theater last night (4/28) and the quality of the film was terrible. There were two or three yellow and green vertical lines running across the screen. I recommend you to see it someplace else.
