Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick

3.0

I love Paul Rudnick, I think he is one of the funniest screenplay writers ever. I love his plays and movies and have seen them over and over again. So I think I may have gotten a little worked up about this book, a little over excited. It was a very interesting take on a Cinderella story. It was good and I loved the second part, but the beginning was a bit slow and hard to figure out. Lots of the dialogue seemed like it was written more for the screen then for the page, so although it was funny (and it was funny), I didn't laugh out loud as many times as I expected for a book written by this man. In conclusion, I may have gone into this book with outrageous expectations of rolling on the floor the entire time because of Mr. Rudnick's ever cutting and dry wit, and therefore was unable to give it the unbiased reading it deserved.
