Right now I am reading Ross Poldark, the first book in the Poldark saga. I'm only a little way in, but I like it a lot so far. The series gets good reviews on Amazon.Kathy A.

Did not see the movie, but I probably never will, because like you said, it usually is never the same..and that always causes disappointment to me!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-67250889965494383862012-03-18T13:59:54.029-07:002012-03-18T13:59:54.029-07:00I've read The Secret Life of Bees, but I haven...I've read The Secret Life of Bees, but I haven't seen the movie, either. I loved the book, though! And The Shipping News sounds fabulous!

I LOVED "The Secret Life of Bees" and have read the book a couple of times. I also saw the movie, and it is a little different than the book. Some of the characters in the movie seemed younger than I thought they were in the book, and one was missing altogether. The movie was still good, and if I hadn't been aware of the changes, I probably would have liked it even more than I did.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-40945227535791056952012-03-18T06:49:45.614-07:002012-03-18T06:49:45.614-07:00I see a couple here that I might need to pick up!I see a couple here that I might need to pick up!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-68545331855197915382012-03-17T14:37:38.996-07:002012-03-17T14:37:38.996-07:00I rarely will do both, read a book AND see the mov...I rarely will do both, read a book AND see the movie. One is bound to disappoint. <br />Loved the movie "The Secret Life of Bees," don't think I saw the end of "No Country for Old Men". It was not my kind of movie. I don't care how many awards it got. <br />"The Shipping News" sounds like a good read. Thanks for the review.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.com
