Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Silver Linings Playbook


Plot Summary Part 2


Pat's Mom gives Pat $40 to take her out to dinner at a dinner. But Pat is afraid to spend too much money, so he orders cereal for dinner.


Hahahahahahaha.


I'm sorry, but this book really makes me laugh!


Then when the bill comes out to $5, Pat gives the waitress a $35 tip, because he was told overtipping was a good thing.


After dinner, seeing how retarded he is, Tiffany tells Pat that she has changed her mind and doesn't want him to bone her. Even Tiffany, who is retarded herself, can see that Pat is much, much, farther gone than she is.


Pat, not realizing anything is wrong, goes home and fantasizes about taking Nikki out to dinner at the diner and eating cereal with her.

This is the funniest book I have read in a long time!!!!


Ronnie, Pat's friend, tells Pat that Tiffany is a retard. This surprises Pat.


Pat agrees to go to the beach with Ronnie, Veronica, and Tiffany.


Cliff asks Pat if he is excited to see Tiffany in a bathing suit. "Maybe she will wear a bikini. What do you think? Do you look forward to seeing it?"


Hahahahaha.


Pat reminds Cliff that he is married.


When they get to the beach, Pat takes Ronnie's daughter, Emily, into the deep part of the ocean, having her ride on her shoulders. When they return, Emily's mother, Veronica, is very upset. She knows that Pat is a retard and is worried that Pat could have drowned Emily. Pat gets upset and runs away. Tiffany runs away with him.


Ok, so a BIG part of this book is watching football games. Pat loves a team called the Eagles. Cliff loves the Eagles. Pat's brother, Jake, and Pat's father, whatever his name is, also loves the Eagles. So about 25% of the book is reading about Pat and the others watching Eagles games, and screaming at the top of their lungs, EAGLES! EAGLES!


That is not funny. That is not entertaining. In fact, after a while (there are many pages of it), it feels retarded. Like Pat.


Pat goes to a football game. A fan of a rival team pushes his brother Jake. Pat beats the fan to a pulp. Then Pat runs away. When Jake catches up to him, he says that Pat did good, beating up that guy, because that guy attacked them first. Pat, fearful he will be sent back to the insane asylum, calms down, and there are pages and pages of description of watching the football game, zzzzzzzzz. Sorry, I fell asleep for a moment, am better now.


Pat goes back to the diner with Tiffany and they have cereal again. Well, Pat does. This time he only gives a $15 tip for a $5 meal because his Mom was smart enough to only give him $20.


Tiffany tries to snap Pat out of his delusions. When Pat talks about getting back together with Nikki, Tiffany says, "Do you wonder why you're sitting here eating fucking raisin bran with me now? It's because Nikki abandoned you and divorced you. FUCK NIKKI, FUCK FUCK HER!!!!"


Hahahahahaha!!!!!


Pat's mother gets upset at her father. Her father, upset about a football game, broke the television, like a retard, and then went out and bought a very expensive TV, without consulting Pat's mother. Pat's mother insists he either return the TV or act like a normal father/husband and spend more time with his family. Pat's dad basically ignores Pat.


They make up when Pat's dad bones his Mom. He walks in on them, watching his Dad thrust into his Mom's v_gina, inadvertently showing Pat exactly how he came into existence. Pat's Mom tells him to go away. Pat goes to Tiffany and asks if he can hang out with her while Pat's Dad is banging his Mom.


Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!


Pat finds out that his brother Jake has been married for the past two years. This is news to him. He lost track of time when he was DRUGGED UP in the INSANE ASYLUM. This reminds him what a retard he's been.


There are more pages of discussions of football and football chants.
