What did you think of the Casual Vacancy?

[thebarkside.livejournal.com]

Just seen this, sorry! Should really come here more often, haha. It's quite weird... It's not a terrible story, but I kind of felt like it was a bit like a throwaway holiday paperback stretched out far too long? I feel awful saying that, haha.

How was The Weird Sisters? And which version of Alice are we talking?

Weird Sisters was okay, I picked it up 'cause of the Shakespearey reference but it was just yer bog-standard chick lit, to be honest. It was all okay in the end 'cause they all got a boyfraaaand! :awesome: Apart from the one who had been an OMGSLUT all her life, she found joy in being single and fabulous! :awesome:

It was the Tim Burton one - on while I was babysitting. Frickin' hilarious.
