Total let down
I was so looking forward to this film and I was crushed by the total trash that was put before me... it was disjointed didn't flow properly, I thought the child actor was awful, too much chopping and changing the comedy was lacking it's backbone totally juvenile I can see some guys will love it but can't see it being one for the ladies... as a marvel film I was very disappointed...

This book was very interesting. I liked the concept and I found myself intrigued with the premise of the book. I did like the characters. Even though they were a little too juvenile for me I found that I could relate to them. The characters were interesting. I liked that it was a quick read. I may continue on in the series but I'm still not sure.

Ultimately, I liked the book but I will admit that I am still unsure about the ending.

I like this book a lot, you don't see many lesbian-themed YA books out there. I'm 26 but I missed out on youth fiction geared toward me as a youth. I had vampire books, that's about it. :/ anyway, pros: it was well written, truthful, and heartfelt. Cons: I did not like the Main Character's Dialogue. She sounded very juvenile for her age and spoke in a way I'd never heard myself as a 17 year old (half) tortillera. All in all I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters and I liked the ending. :)

A rather juvenile romp
As the title suggests, Elif Batuman's novel explores linguistics and Russian literature through the eyes of a young Harvard undergraduate, Selin. The character falls in love with an older, neurotic Hungarian mathematics student, and travels to his country to be near him. It is occasionally humorous, and describes a rite of passage - but no more than that. Unfortunately, at times it is rather banal and tedious.

While Batuman's writing is to be desired, the content fell short as the narrative varies between sharp and rambling. The naivety of Selin also appears slightly unbelievable, and would probably be better geared at a younger audience.
