Reviews Done Quick I’ve always loved the film Legally Blonde. Elle Woods was quick, charming, and went after what she wanted. After discovering that the film was based on a book I was eager to read how her paper counterpart compared. Oh, how disappointed I was. In the novel, Elle is a stereotypical dumb blonde […]
