final literature review for our finals days in Nantes

Le meilleur des choix

oh dear readers, avid review fans. I hope you know how i suffer as a chart a course for you through the rocky territory of trashy novel translations.

In all fairness, from that title i should have known it would be terrible but i'd been seduced by "medecin et don juan" and it was a double copy.

I really can barely be bothered to type the words though, it wasn't so bad its good (which is what i always expect and hope for), it wasn't so bad its hilarious (which is usually what i get), its only move away from mediocrity was in its MASSIVE dullness.

However duty is duty so here is the plot in a nutshell: emotionally traumatised pr/management girl meets emotionally traumatised/rough round the edges ER doctor (see geoff - you've chosen an appropriately sexy speciality). They have sex, she gets pregnant, they get married and have babies. A snooze-fest from start to finish.

It saddens me to finish off my literature reviews with a whimper rather than a derisorily hilarious bang but c'est la vie.

In other news a mere 2 days of hospital, 3 days of nantes life in total and one long day of travel stands between me and home. And the same for marie except with a long day of hanging round and a much shorter journey.

I cannot god damn wait, skills are signed off, u-cex's are done and i'm doctor ready. But mostly i'm ready to just not be here.

We went for a day trip to cholet to see my grandma on sunday. As here town-twinning friend she was staying with said "i don't know why you've come here, its ugly and there's nothing to see" but really we quite enjoyed the not-being-in-nantes-ness of it all. So 2 more days of hospital and then on friday once packed up and rooms inspected we are taking one last trip round town on the "petit train" and then voila, fini, au revoir!

hope you've enjoyed
