Horror's Greatest Hits
Phoebe asked this question about Conversations with Friends:
Did Nick have any compelling quality other than being handsome? Why did we keep hearing how funny Bobbi was, yet the book is devoid of humor? Did anyone else think Melissa got a really bum rap?

I thought he was receptive and sympathetic, and I found myself just wanting him to be a person in real life that I could be friends with. He reminded me of many people in real life that I'm very fond of/have particular connections, too. As for Bobbi, I actually laughed out loud at some of the things she said, so I do actually think that she was funny. She has a cruel humor, though, and it's generally at the deprivation of others. For instance: "Did your parents have a favorite child? That must have been hard for you." She shows sarcastic wit that is often at other people's expense, and although it's not humorous to all, it's at least humorous to Frances.(less)
