Review: The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend by Kody Keplinger

             

Published: September 2010

Publisher: Little Brown / Poppy 

Format: eBook 

Didn't gel to this at all unfortunately. I found most of the characters really unlikable, which is not always a bad thing but they weren't unlike able enough at the other end to make any sort of an impression on me if that makes sense?

I love a book where I can detest a character but there's nothing worse than feeling "Meh" about a character or story.

Really I thought that Bianca was a bit thick. This idiot insults her constantly yet she still not only gives him the time of day, she uses him as a "distraction". Right. Also whining about an ex who took her virginity when she was 14!? Statutory Rape anyone!?? Maybe I'm not down with the young people anymore but I thought that was a bit excessive

I picked this up because I read that it was going to be turned into a movie and I wanted to read it first.


Movie Trailer: 

I just watched the trailer. It seems they totally changed the story. This, for me at least is a good thing as it would have been one boring ass movie.
This is probably the only time ill ever say this but skip the book and wait for the movie
