I really enjoyed this book. I was a little uncomfortable with her following (stalking!) at first. After awhile I found it funny and that I could even relate with her. Alice Teakle is a "Stephanie Plum" character - funny, witty, and a bit bumbling but always comes out ahead. The story was entertaining, not predictable, and believable. ( )Alice loses her casting agency job and with nothing better to do, begins following her much more successful Harvard classmate Polly around Manhattan. When Polly ends up dead, Alice becomes a suspect and ends up hiding out with her school crush, Charlie. This sounds bizarre, but unfolds realistically and with great humor. Liked it a lot. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. It took a little time to get used to the writing style of this author; but it was an easy read. The story kept my interest enough that I read it in two sittings in order to find out who did it and if the girl would get the guy in the end.Following Polly has many funny passages, including an especially humorous Manhattan party crashing scene that is up to the level of Woody Allen's New Yorker pieces. I thought Following Polly was merely going to be a breezy chick-lit diversion. However, it is a fine novel with an intriguing murder mystery and hilarious comic turns. It is chick lit with an unexpected emphasis on the "lit." What elevates Following Polly is its treatment of the down side of life in Manhattan, when it feels lonely and loveless and cashless to boot. Manhattan is almost a character here (also like Woody) as Polly tries to clear herself of a murder charge while evading the police and finding herself. She is dogged by the highly inconvenient fact that she was sort of stalking the murder victim, a former college classmate who is prettier and much more successful than Polly, and was never very nice to her, at the time the victim is found dead. This also turns out to be a love story, and of course love solves all. Read this book! Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. This was one of the funniest books that I have read in a long time! Karen Bergreen has put together a cast of characters that really put the “fun” in dysfunctional! I absolutely love Alice!!! She is so quirky and lovable in a weird sort of way. And the things she gets herself into are hysterical. I ended up reading this book in one day and definitely did not want it to end. I had reviewed this on my blog ages ago. I forgot to put the review on here as well. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"Would you call Alice Teakle a stalker? Or just someone with an, um, healthy obsession with golden girl Polly Linley Dawson?... Everyone follows Polly... Alice just follows her a little more closely. And when she loses her job and starts to follow Polly Dawson one Manhattan autumn afternoon, Alice stumbles on the object of her attention sprawled dead on the floor of a boutique. Alice is forced to become truly beneath anyone's notice. Invisible, in fact. Because she's accused of murder. But can another obsession help save Alice with the fallout? Charlie is Alice's longtime unattainable crush. He might be able to help her out of the mess she's in, in return for a favor or two, that is. And how will Alice find out if Charlie is really the man Alice thinks he is?"--from publisher description. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
