Re: Who is reading or plans to read this book?
I had planned to read the book. Now I'm not so sure. The last week has been really hard on me -- a lot of stuff dredged up from the past -- and I'm thinking this particular book may not be conducive to putting everything back into a manageable order. But we'll see. A week from now it may not bother me anymore.
read it an i really enjoyed it
This book is not my usual fair but i really enjoyed it. It was very moving. I know a young girl who lost her father (my sister's niece) and I kept imagining her when the daughter came back to see her dead father alive. It was the first book in a long while to move me to tears. I read the unabridged version and i did think the language was such that i would not imagine anyone under 16 at least to read the book but it will be one when my niece comes of age i would recommend to her.

I plan to read the book. Our library has a reserve list for it.

I have to admit that I saw the movie, and after seeing the movie, I was a little disappointed in the storyline. Movies usually do not live up to the novels they were based on, but regardless, it made me not want to read the novel.

It's advisable to read the book before seeing the movie, though the movie is only based on the book and it's usually different and full of cinematic effects. I suppose it could be compared to watching different versions of a movie- they're all different but based on the same storyline.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
