Poorly written, little character development and the plot didn’t feel properly fleshed out. I’ll stick with the movie and musical

This book was definitely just "ok", the movie is phenomenally better in terms of plot and character description. For a movie (while I love it) that's relatively unrealistic, it was still just much more endearing than the book. Warner's character is so much more sexist towards Elle, and since it takes her practically forever to even call him out on it in the book I was just annoyed. Pretty much everyone at the "law school" is so so sexist and never learns their lesson. Where a lot of books are better than their movies, I think the movie did a good job of improving off the book's story

Easy read; nothing special; different storyline than the movie

While not a terrible book, it is one of the few where the movie may be better than the book. Some of the changes are absolutely jarring- like her going to Stanford Law and not Harvard and even tiny Bruiser's name is actually Underdog. The reviews are much worse than the book actually is, the book really isn't so bad. My preferred way to consume Legally Blonde is definitely the movie. Reese Witherspoon adds a charm to Elle that simply doesn't exist in the book (though it's hard to imagine Elle as anyone else). Don't let the reviews scare you-it's a decent book. Just be prepared that there are clear differences between the stories and characters.

I think this may be the first time I've ever uttered these words, but: the movie was better. So, so much better.

Urgh! By far one of the most boring books I have ever read. A book that had tons of potential but was ruined by the author's style of writing! Dear me. Money and time totally wasted. Nobody can get by a law course in Stanford that easily, even if you are as brilliant as Elle! No witness would confess that easily, even if you are as great a lawyer as Elle! Legally Blonde is just wrong on so many levels. Would not recommend it to anybody. Not even my 13 year old niece. -_-
