		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, I discovered a wonderful, wonderful book. Gail Carson Levine&#8217;s Ella Enchanted is immerses you in Ella&#8217;s world, giving you a best friend as well as an adventure.
Then Hollywood got their hands on it. And THEY RAPED IT.
Below is an off-the-cuff rant I wrote in 2004, before the movie was even released. <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/movie-vs-book-ella-enchanted/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I saw the movie ages ago, but I don&#8217;t remember it very well. A good deal of the book felt familiar, which means the movie did bear some similarity to it. Not that anyone would really care when they could gaze on a GORGEOUS Johnny Depp.
The book is lovely. Intriguing, <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/12/chocolat/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Bridget Jones is a classic of our time. She can&#8217;t be anything but. Plenty of people have gone on and on about how this book changed womens&#8217; literature to chick lit (for better or worse).

Right, so. I saw the movie ages back and don&#8217;t remember much about it except that I liked it more than my mother did, and she thought it was very disappointing.
The book is&#8230; strange. I wish we&#8217;d read it in one of my writing classes because it pulls all kinds <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/12/le-divorce/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

A lot has been said about MoaG, so I&#8217;m not going to give it a huge, thorough review. What I am going to say is that it is wonderful.
The settings are thorough. The culture feels alive and natural. You sympathize with the characters and want so much for <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/06/memoirs-of-a-geisha/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

A quaint little bestseller from 2001 about love that transcends (near) death. A 2005 chick flick starring Reese Witherspoon.
The movie was better. It was much more real. That says a lot about the book.
It was passed on to me by mother, who got it from a family friend. They <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2006/06/if-only-it-were-true/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
