The hilarious novel about a not-so-dumb blonde that inspired the blockbuster movie--including what's next for Elle Woods.

Legally Blonde

Before it was a blockbuster movie and a Broadway musical, LEGALLY BLONDE soared as a fresh, funny romance, with the unforgettable Elle Woods proving blondes will run the world. Elle Woods, California University senior, seems to have it all. President of Delta Gamma sorority, a star in the classroom (her major: sociopolitical jewelry design)—and is on the verge of becoming the much-envied Mrs. Warner Huntington III. Too bad Warner, bound for Stanford Law, dumps her with the explanation that he now needs a more "serious" woman at his side. Faced with this unexpected reversal of fortune, Woods doesn't get depressed, she gets busy. Thanks to a creative application and a demand for "diversity" at Stanford Law, Elle gets her acceptance letter. Soon she's packing up her convertible—as well as her miniature Chihuahua—determined to win back her man, and to prove to herself that dreaming big is the only way to dream. Smart, fast, and funny. LEGALLY BLONDE proves just how much fun blondes really can have.

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
