The book from hell: "Felicity's Summer Vacation" reviewed
By Stephanie
Hyperion Publishing and Touchstone Pictures and Television
have a new book
out which is supposed to be about Felicity's summer vacation. Let
me
summarize by saying, if you haven't bought the book yet,
DON'T!!!!!
It is full of inconsistencies regarding the season premiere. If
you are a
Noel + Felicity fan, or if you are a Ben + Felicity fan, believe
me. You
will be seriously disappointed by this book, no matter which guy
you prefer.
It is a waste of money and paper. I am not kidding. I was
terribly excited
about getting this book and it was a complete let-down.
Basically, it starts out with Felicity on the plane headed to
Berlin with
Noel, which of course is totally off base, according to the
season premiere.
Then, just when she and Noel are about to go "all the
way", she makes the
mistake of saying something like, "Oh, Ben." (Which is
the best part of the
book, by the way. Not because I am a fan of Ben, but just because
it was so
funny.)
They fight, and she goes home to Palo Alto. Here are the parts
that really
disappointed me. And I will number them by the disgust factor.
One being
most disgusting. Six being the least disgusting, but still pretty
stupid.
1. Ben ignores her all summer.
2. She actually calls Julie, who tells her that SHE has talked to
Ben.
3. She gets some weird bacterial infection and complains of
really bad gas.
4. Noel sets up a website dedicated to her. (Absolutely sick, I
think.)
5. She has a mild crush on Dr. Kessler, her boss. (Who's already
cheating on
his wife)
6. She sees Ben in a coffee shop and he ignores her. (He's with
another
girl.)
Simply put, don't waste your time on this book. Believe me.
