There&#8217;s a LOT of fun to poke at this thing. Before I have fun, let me say that it wasn&#8217;t awful. It wasn&#8217;t really good, either.
BOOK-IN-A-MINUTE, Git-style

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>

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>

I really like Tracy Chevalier. Like so many people, I began with Girl With a Pearl Earring, and loved it. I think I love this even more, though.
Based off the tapestries by the same name, the book follows the people engaged in its making in the 14/1500s. We begin with <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/11/the-lady-and-the-unicorn/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I love retellings of fairy tales. My mother built me a collection of really gorgeously illustrated books when I was very young, and my edition of Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites. Of course I had to read this rendition by Donna Jo Napoli, which begins <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2006/08/beast/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I&#8217;m still not sure if I enjoyed this, but it&#8217;s certainly worth talking about. To Dance With Kings is set in France, and begins with the founding of Versailles. Jeanne Dremont, a modest peasant woman living in the village of Versailles, struggles to give birth. Her husband labours for the <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2005/06/to-dance-with-kings/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
