I loved every moment of this book and the movie too, but we're focusing on the book. This story is so moving and so cute that I just wanted to hug Novalee and tell her to be my friend. I really didn't care for the bits about her ex-boyfriend Willie Jack at all he was an idiot and I couldn't stand hi...
I saw the movie version of this book when it first came out and it has become one of my favorite movies, so this book has been one I have wanted to read for a while. I just finally got around to reading it now and am glad that I did. This book was as good, if not better, than the movie. This heartwa...
I love Billie Letts, I love this book and I love all the crazy characters in it. I've actually read this twice. I read it once when it came out and then a couple years later before I watched the movie. It's just a great heartwarming story and I would definitely recommend it!
I should start by stating that Where the Heart Is is one of my all time favorite movies. For a while a few years ago, my family and I were watching it about once a month. Although the book contained additional scenes and characters not in the movie, I think I still prefer the movie. It wasn't a b...
This book was a nauseating experience of southern caricatures. The characters were adorned each with a set of quaint, innocuous attributes, as if the author had a "character wheel" she spun to gather a set of random traits for each. It was an attempt at Bean Trees, but lacking in any truth or integr...
Not as good as I was expecting, but it was an easy read and quite enjoyable. I felt it was a bit disjointed - it jumped around a lot and seemed to leave out whole chunks of storyline just to get to the next event. At one point, I almost felt like I was reading a collection of short stories about t...
I had previously read The Honk and Holler Opening Soon, which I really enjoyed, so I wanted to read this book to see why everyone I knew said it was such a good book. Well, I did enjoy it. I felt bad for poor Novalee. 17, pregnant by a man who so obviously did not want the responsibility of being a ...
Great book. I read it in 4 hours and spent most of that time crying. Definitely a book that stays with you and warms your heart. The movie version was actually pretty darn faithful but doesn't take the place of this gem.
