New Girl pt2

Having watched the earlier episodes of New Girl, it is actually a very funny sitcom. I actually prefer the guys rather than Jess, and the scene where they start singing in the restaurant in the pilot was hilarious. It's a shame that Coach left, there was quite a lot of potential for him, hopefully he will return in the future. The wedding episode didn't seem as funny as the earlier episodes - i wonder if it was just a one-off, or perhaps the sitcom has grown on me as i have got used to it. I still think that Jess has the tendency to be over kooky and annoying though at times...

New Girl

Now there's been a lot of hype surrounding this new US comedy, but from the trailers i wasnt really that impressed. I thought that Zooey Deschanel was a bit too kooky for my liking in this comedy. I gave it a go during the wedding episode, and whilst it didn't have me roaring with laughter it did have its charm, and i like the interplay and relationship between the main 4 leads. It's also become obvious that the writers will pair Nick and Jess together so i hope that doesnt spoil this interplay. There are times when Jess can appear too kooky that it becomes annoying but when she reins it in she becomes a likeable character. It will be nice to see how this sitcom develops!

Update on A HOPELESS ROMANTIC by Harriet Evans

As you know, i've started reading this a few weeks ago and I found it awful, but I am pursuing with it...slowly. The good news is it does get better with the arrival of Nick. Laura isn't as bad as she was earlier in the book, but she is far from being likeable, and i like the general fairytaleness of the plot (marquis falls in love with commoner, etc.). However, now that the truth has been revealed, Nick is starting to sound a bit weedy as he tries to hide his relationship from his sister & there is still a long way of the book to go. At the point where I have reached, it is starting to lag again, and I fear I might start getting frustrated with the story again...I'll press on nonetheless...
