![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() This is a play. It is a fast read. The girl is like any school girls who are into book, speaking French and having an education. From very tradition family who want her to go to Oxford. She met a older man, a thief who bring her to Paris. She met him at 16. Have sex at 17. And wonder what all the education is for, when having fun is more exciting. With all the books she read, life is about having fun. But there is much more than that. She didn't see the world with people, with world problems, with inequality and injustice. She only know about concert and art and stuff. She is like a mall rat. Just with more acceptable, so called "higher taste". is all 16 like that? I think I don't dislike the characters. I certainly like Nick Hornby's writings. I just like the main characters. I probably prefer her to be a justice fighting, Doctor Who fans than those trained to be pretentious little brat. Oh well. (spoiler show) Conclusion Don't really like this kind of story. Still find it easy and good read probably because of Nick Hornby. The end. Good book to take a short trip with. It wouldn't last for a long flight. no reviews | add a review
From the New York Times bestselling author--the shooting script to his award-winning film, with an original Introduction and vivid stills from the movie. Jenny is a 16-year-old girl stifled by the tedium of adolescence; she can't wait for her sophisticated adult life to begin. One rainy day her suburban existence is upended by the arrival of David, a much older suitor who introduces her to a glittering new world of concerts, art, smoky bars, urban nightlife, and his glamorous friends, replacing her traditional education with his own version. It could be her awakening--or her undoing. This edition of Hornby's adapted screenplay, which includes stills from the film, is a perfect accompaniment to the highly anticipated movie, which stars Carey Mulligan as Jenny, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Thompson, Dominic Cooper, and Alfred Molina. It is a must-have for fans of Hornby's novels, featuring his signature pitch-perfect dialogue, mordant wit, and the resonant humanity of his writing. Watch a Video No library descriptions found. |
