Notice About Books Shopgirl

How can a movie that seemed so horrible and so sad be such an amazing book when the novel and screen play were written by the same person? Shouldn't they be, i don't know.. the same? It just doesn't make sense. Anyway, this was a wonderful book. Yes, it made me cry just as much as the movie did but the book was just so much better. The book leaves you more at peace with the ending. The movie just throws the ending at you and expects you to accept it. Thankfully, my favorite movie line was in the

This book was a surprise to me, loaned for on-the-plane reading after I'd finished the book I'd brought on the trip.I had low expectations of the writing and the story. Both were pleasant surprises. Written in almost elegant prose, the characters in their small lives unfold. Vignettes of their lives are neat and complete, stacking on top of and inside one another, until the chain of experiences moves each character to a different place. It may seem insignificant or that the characters just



Welcome to Steve Martin's gallery of portraits!The subject is the vacuous LA social scene. First up and the focal point of the show: Mirabelle ButtersfieldMiss Buttersfield is a wallflower coming into her own. She works at a high-end clothing store. Her thoughts on romance and relationships are juvenile. Next we have a brief study on Jeremy.He begins as a slacker an evolves into a more successful bit of trite pomposity. His thoughts on romance and relationships are juvenile. The next subject is

I read and really enjoyed Martin's The Pleasure of my Company a few years ago. It was quirky and sweet and I found it very funny in parts. I was hoping for more of the same with Shopgirl when I stumbled across this unabridged audio but for some reason it's not working for me. At all.I'm finding myself bored and annoyed. It's about a 28 year old woman who works in a shop selling "gloves no one wants to buy" and lives like a newly graduated college student. She's lonely and shy and wants to meet a

One imagines, easily, that Steve Martin has done some hard time in fine department stores. Perhaps he was with Bernadette Peters or Victoria Tennant, or any of the many beautiful women he's been known to escort around town; afternoon strolls that clearly included revolving doors and escalators, a hint of rich perfume in the air, the light refrain of piped-in piano, and a rack of Armani couture that called to his lady with its siren song. He has been parked, one imagines, several times in one of

Hubba hubba! I saw this on a book list, and did a double take when I saw the author was Steve Martin. I looked who it was, and sure enough, it was the actor! This book is highly sexual, and a bit raunchy. I did not know Steve had it in him!😘 It is not an amazing book, but for some one who is not primarily a writer, it is very impressive. The other good thing about it is that it is not formulaic, and the story is unique. I will definitely check out the movie that it was adapted into!
