Book or Movie?

Which did you like better? I always prefer the book, but this movie was very well done. It was generally true to the book, although there was a little bit of Hollywood style romance added. Let us know by adding your comments below.

P.S.  If you have not yet seen the movie, Wake County will be showing it at several libraries during the month of April.  Click here to find the list of events. 

Question number two:

For our next discussion, we’d like you to think about the perspective of the book. The author uses the first-person narrative voice for both of her principal characters. Why do you feel she does this? How effective is each in showing the characters attitudes and motivations? Did you like this, or did you find the change distracting?

Please tell us your thoughts by using the comments section below.

To Start the Discussion…

Here’s the first question we’d like to pose for consideration:

The preparation and eating of food is decribed in detail in many parts of the book. What is the significance of this, and what do the attitudes of the main characters towards food show about their personalities?

Please post your answers in the comments below. We look forward to hearing from you.
