Books to The Big Screen discussion

I love the movie!!! Have any of you read the book?? Thoughts?

No, I have never heard of it is it any good?

I just read it!!! It was really good :) the movie was less mystical than the book - like on the book Vianne can like read minds.

Cool! I would totally read it but my library doesn't have it :(

I saw and fell in love with the movie before I read the book. As I was reading I quickly figured out the movie couldn't (or just didn't) stay as true to the story as I expected.
Read the book first. If you've already seen the amazing movie have patience with the book. Remember the book was here first and it's not to be blamed for not being like the movie.

Book,movie?!?! What's it about? Sounds interesting! TEll me more! :D

I wasn't happy with the little blurb Goodreads had so I took this straight from Amazon's description.

In tiny Lansquenet, where nothing much has changed in a hundred years, beautiful newcomer Vianne Rocher and her exquisite chocolate shop arrive and instantly begin to play havoc with Lenten vows. Each box of luscious bonbons comes with a free gift: Vianne's uncanny perception of its buyer's private discontents and a clever, caring cure for them. Is she a witch? Soon the parish no longer cares, as it abandons itself to temptation, happiness, and a dramatic face-off between Easter solemnity and the pagan gaiety of a chocolate festival. Chocolat's every page offers a description of chocolate to melt in the mouths of chocoholics, francophiles, armchair gourmets, cookbook readers, and lovers of passion everywhere.

It's a great story, but remember- read the book first.

It has everyday people dealing with a possible witch, their own closed-mindedness against outsiders, distrust, overwhelming judgements of morality and piety and chocolate to melt hearts.

Wow,Seems real interesting!
Thanks you Jennifer :))

Yes I ALWAYS read the book first ;)

Let me know your review of the book.

Just picked up this book at a yard sale :)
