Halloween Reads
Cathy Kleinbart asked this question about Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1):
I read this a few years ago and it has haunted me ever since. I'm wondering if anyone else felt that way. I recently found out that a movie or mini series is in the works. As much as I believe the novel was beautifully written, I won't be watching because I just found it so very sad and maybe "too" relaistic. Anyone else feel that way?
Tracey Ayres I saw the mini-series first and found it done so excellently that I could think of none other than Frances McDormand as I subsequently read the book. …moreI saw the mini-series first and found it done so excellently that I could think of none other than Frances McDormand as I subsequently read the book. She was perfect and the mini-series was exquisite.

The book haunted me with its stellar writing (and yes, I too, unfortunately, recognized parts of myself in the title character). I cannot wait to read something else from this author. (less)
