A very good read! This was my first Joanne Harris book but it won't be my last! I really enjoyed the book and liked it better than the movie. The movie left out a lot of the more controversial plot lines but the movie itself is worth seeing for the French scenery. The book is a good read around Easter time since it takes place during the period of lent. I really liked the descriptions and the characters in the book and I agree with the other reviewer about the characters of Reynaud and Vianne. The book deals a lot with the themes of what it means to be a good person no matter what your religious believes or social status.
