I'm conflicted about how I feel about this one. I liked the story, but I hated some of the characters. There were times when I wanted to lock them all in a room and tell them they couldn't come out until they learned how to play nice, be civil human beings, and find some humanity and compassion.

I literally laughed (or, more accurately, snorted) several times. There was a lot of eye rolling, head shaking, and mumbling "OMG," "You've got to be kidding me," "Not again," "Seriously?" and other such things under my breath as I made my way through this book. But, there were also a few moments of cheering on some of the characters.

Overall, I'm glad I finally read it. I saw the movie years ago and remember enjoying it, but the book sat on my shelf for probably 3 years or more, and I've failed to read more than the first page several times. I think I was just in the mood for something reasonably light and ridiculous, and this fit the bill.
