The Best

This is one of the best books I have ever read, I highly recommend that everyone reads it

An excellent read!

Elle Woods, California University senior, has it all. She's homecoming queen, Miss June, popular, wears the latest trends, and has a hot boyfriend whom she's planning to marry, Warner. But when Warner unexpectedly dumps her, claiming he needs a more "serious" woman to accompany him to law school, Elle doesn't just sit around and mope. She takes the LSAT to get into Stanford Law School (where Warner was going), and easily passed. Determined to get Warner back, Elle's hopes are basically ruined when she finds that Warner has a new girlfriend, Sarah, and they were engaged. Life at Stanford hadn't been going too well, either- Elle was considered the laughingstock of the whole school, and had a hard time making friends. Determined to graduate and to show Warner how serious she really was, Elle decided to stay at Stanford.I found this book to be full of humor, cringe-worthy parts, and those "You-go-girl!" moments. I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm not qualified to judge on it, but after reading the book, I will definitely see the movie!Brittany Marshalls

A Must Read for Blondes and Blondes-at-Heart

A fun-loving, bubbly sorority president/homecoming queen is dumped by her boyfriend for someone more serious. She follows him to Stanford Law School, determined to win him back and show him that she can be serious. In the process, she learns about herself and shows others that just because she is blonde and beautiful, she is still intelligent in her own way.Anyone who is a fan of the movie should read this book. Even though it is different from the movie, it is excellent and hilarious in its own way.

Elle Woods rocks!

Nobody in the world could have dreamed that Elle Woods would be going to Stanford Law School. Come on! She's Miss June on the school calendar, homecoming queen, and big glamor girl Barbie. However when her long time boyfriend Warner breaks up with her because he needs a girlfriend that is more "serious" and can help him become president Elle decides she is going to prove herself very serious and follows Warner to law school. However from the first day Elle can tell Law School isn't really the place for a blonde. Plus she finds out that this totally unstylish, super serious looking Sarah is now engaged to Warner. However when things finally settle down Elle begins to find that law school isn't so bad. When she takes on the job as summer intern for Christoper Miles she finds that she is beginning to forget Warner. Now her new focus in life is this case about 23 year old Brooke Vandemark who is accused of murdering her 73 year old husband Heyworth Vandemark. It seems the only witness of the crime is Heyworth's 24 year old daughter Chutney. In the end Elle comes through with a trick any Cosmo girl would know to solve the case!I absoulety love this book!! Even though I aint blonde it was still very funny for me! I have seen the movie too and I just have to say I love them both.

A Must-Read

Elle Woods is devastated when her boyfriend Warner Huntington III breaks up with her, instead of proposing (like she had thought). Now Elle is on a mission to become a wholesome girl like Warner wants. Which is why she's on her way to Stanford Law School. It's now up to her to break Warner and his new fiance up, and claim the man she came for. But while at Law School she realizes she likes it very much, and even starts the BLDF (Blonde Legal Defense Fund).I recommend this book to all fans of the movie "Legally Blonde". While the book isn't exactly the same as the movie, it does resemble it, and is just as hilarious.

A Blonde Lawyer Joke?

A blonde lawyer joke? I have heard many blonde jokes and many more lawyer jokes in my time, but this is the first blonde lawyer joke, and there needs to be one, that I have run across. Actually the book, as is the movie, is an on going joke. Extremely humorous and yet one of great premise. And there is even a wonderful moral to be had in all of this. Cousin Vinny meets Bridget Jones? This story offers us love lost and love gained. Revenge and reward. Wonderful characters and clever and smart dialogue. I believe the movie was adapted from Amanda's first novel and she did a great job with the book. Elle Wood, the story's Fashion Merchandising sorority girl seemingly airhead heroine, worms her way into Harvard Law School for no other reason but to win back the love of her life. See the movie, read the book, but don't leave Amanda Brown's Legally Blonde off of your summer things to do list. General George Washington was once quoted as saying, 'When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen." Elle would modify that statement to read, "When we assumed the Blonde, we did not lay aside the Airhead." Actually that is a line from my next book but it seemed to fit here, so I used it, and you read it here first. Get ready to laugh because...here comes, Elle!
