Confessions of a Shopaholic

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella was a wonderful book. I like the feeling that Rebbecca Bloomwood is a real person with a real debt problem. She tries different kinds of tactics ending with putting all her bills in a drawer and forgetting about them. Ironically, she ends up advising people on their own fiances through her job and a surprise in the end. My favorite scene in the book is the one when Rebbecca gets a job at a clothing store. She actually tries to hide some pants that she wanted to buy from a customer, ending up getting fired on her first day. All in all, the book was cute and funny with a little romance which you know I love.

As you probably have seen from the commercials, the movie is coming to theaters tomorrow. I think that Isla Fisher is the perfect actress for Rebbecca. She has a kind of innocent look about her that fits what Sophia Kinsella put in the book. On the other hand, I don't really like the actor chosen to play Rebbecca's love interest Luke, Hugh Dancy. I think he's cute but I don't really like the way he acts. I imagine Luke to be... different. lol. Of course, my personal opinion doesn't really matter. But hey, I get to watch if for free. hehe. That's the one and only perk of my job: free movie tickets.

Anyway, I will definitely tell you what I think after I've seen it. Oh, and Sophie Kinsella's other books that I have read are good as well: Can You Keep a Secret and Remember Me.
