I learned of this book when The Husband and I were at the movies - we saw a preview for the movie version of this book. The movie looked hilarious, so, as per usual, I wanted to read the book.
It was HILARIOUS! Also as per usual, I think the book was better than the movie, but the movie was hilarious too.
The character development was great, the antics that happen are so funny - keep an eye out for the fishing vest, pink elephants, and Microsoft, and I love the description of the settings, from Seattle to the blackberry bushes, from their unique house to the mudslide, and of course, Antarctica.
I was laughing so much with this book, I imposed it on The Husband to read - he loved it too. Needless to say, as soon as the movie came out - we were there. It was hilarious too. I wish movies could pack all of the details in the book into the movie and still keep it a doable length.
That's the beauty of books - authors can paint beautiful and extremely detailed pictures with their words and not have to worry about if an audience can sit through it. Readers can put the book down endless times and come back to it endless times and get more immersed in all of the details over and over again. Ah, the beauty of books.
This is a GREAT read! You'll love it.
