Anyone read this? I just started reading it one night because I could not sleep but then I pretty much become consumed until the end. It's really beautiful and inspiring- I totally recommend it. It's this really pretty story with all these really lovley metaphores about bees and bee keeping.
I love that book! And there is a movie now. I think it is one movie made from a book that I would really like to see.
This is an Excellent book. I read it and even gave it to my mother to read, so I'd recommend it to anyone. The bee-keeping and honey making "facts" were Real, btw. Most movies don't even compare to the books, but I do have high expectations for this one. The actresses are great and I think I read where SM Kidd had some say in how the movie script was written.
I thought the movie did a good job of translating the story, even though personally I don't really care that much for Dakota Fanning. But if you liked the book at all, I'd definitely recommend seeing the movie if you haven't yet.
I looooved the book. Read it a couple times. Also really enjoyed the movie, though I don't know if I would have liked it so much if I hadn't read the book first and felt connected to the characters. In the book, you simply must love all these wonderful women, but in the movie I think it is just hard to built that connection with a limited amount of time.
There is something about this book that just about anyone could love. I've never personally met anyone that said to me they didn't like it. The mother was okay. I cried during it just remembering parts from the book. haha
