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?

Our discussion of this well written interesting character, seen from the eyes of people around her, was fantastic. I was not looking forward to reading this book as pulitzer prize winners are generally not my cup of tea. However, I think it is the best Ppw I have read. The writing is smart and wonderfully descriptive in a concise way. I was sorry it took so long for Olivia to find herself. I decided to watch the mini-series as one of our members had a dvd copy. I thought the adaptation of the book to the series was horribly inaccurate and was sorry i watched. However, I appreciate Frances McDormand's acting. (less)
