There's more that's different than there is in similarity.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637015745900846569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-80774996549896411362009-03-31T13:55:00.000-05:002009-03-31T13:55:00.000-05:00A number of people have said the book was boring c...A number of people have said the book was boring compared to the film. I have always enjoyed a book for that any film that was made of it. So I must read the book now out of curiosity, I have seen the film but some years ago. I did read the sequel under the UK title The Lollpop Shoes (The Girl With No Shadow in the US)and enjoyed it very much.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-41143342563787449722009-03-08T20:13:00.000-05:002009-03-08T20:13:00.000-05:00Wendy, do see the movie.Laura, I didn't know there...Wendy, do see the movie.<BR/><BR/>Laura, I didn't know there was a sequel! Surprisingly enough, though I seem pretty ho-hum about the book in my review, I would so read the sequel if it came my way. I *don't* think my library has it. But if it did, I'd so read it.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-83755651576168096922009-03-07T12:25:00.000-06:002009-03-07T12:25:00.000-06:00I read this book recently, then I watched movie. ...I read this book recently, then I watched movie. I was surprised that I liked the book somewhat. Enough to read the sequel, which may have been better. At least it did a good job of tying up some of the plotlines left dangling in Chocolat.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775836987596716063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-55373807775462690512009-03-07T11:43:00.000-06:002009-03-07T11:43:00.000-06:00Looks like you felt the way I did, Becky...I *woul...Looks like you felt the way I did, Becky...I *would* like to see the movie, however. So many people seemed to enjoy it...and I can see where maybe the movie might intrigue me more than the book (that doesn't happen too often!)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-64776169029518253952009-03-07T10:37:00.000-06:002009-03-07T10:37:00.000-06:00I have seen the movie--but it was about nine years...I have seen the movie--but it was about nine years ago...and it was on VHS if that lets you know how long ago it was :) That plus it was a "new release" at blockbuster at the time...<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see the movie again to compare....but...based on memory alone...<BR/><BR/>I think the movie is better than the book.

(I have, but it's been ages, and I wanted to rewatch it, which I haven't yet.) I'm glad I wasn't the only one who came away less-than-satisfied with the foodiness of the book.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-566483524146593702009-03-07T08:02:00.000-06:002009-03-07T08:02:00.000-06:001.
