I forgot to mention that I couple of weeks ago I watched The Secret Life of Bees. Of course a total chick flick (that's really all I watch). I must say I love ON DEMAND with Comcast cable...this is in no way an endorsement of Comcast but of ON DEMAND. Most movies you have to pay for but there is a nice selection of free movies that changes once a month. I've been able to find old movies that I've wanted to watch.
Okay so the movie of course wasn't as good as the book. It did have a great cast. I'm a huge fan of Queen Latifah...great actress...I think. Great story line and wasn't hard to get into. Also, for anyone who has watched a movie based on a book with me...you know throughout the movie I will say things like, "that didn't happen in the book" or "I wish that wouldn't have changed that"...I didn't think that too many times during this movie.
Why I read this book. I usually read book reviews when looking for a book to read, I will take suggestions from friends/coworkers/strangers or walk around a bookstore picking up books until I find one that from the book flip sounds interesting to me. Well when I worked at the Governor's office I worked with this wonderful, amazing lady named, Trudy. She was always reading something. Well she brought in The Secret Life of Bees one day and made all of us in the scheduling office read the book. We all listened to her and read the book...that's what you did it was Trudy....random story but every time I think about The Secret Life of Bees I think about her.
I recommend the movie and of course the book!

Can you believe how 'dead on' they were with the choices of actors?!
