I have never been a fan of Jane Austen's novels, but I love books about books (as you can clearly see in my list), and I am always open for new reading experiences, that's why I always try out new genres, etc, although I do not really like Crime books, for example, so Jane Austen didnt't really retard me from reading this book. Although I have to admit that I didn't read the book first but watched the movie, because one of my favourite actresses, Amy Brenneman, was cast for this film. I usually read the book before watching the film adaption, because I always want to get to know the original first. As stated above, it was different in the Book Club case. I was so impressed by the movie that I went to buy the book just a day after watching it for the first time and finished it shortly after. I think the movie is nicely made and I think the cast is well-chosen, despite the obvious age-differences. That's what I love about the book: The main characters are mostly middle-aged women, not teenagers oder twenty-somethings. Women at the age of 40-60 are almost never protagonists in books like that, that's what makes the JABC so special for me. The movie definitely compares to the book, because the producers did a really good job in capturing the conversions the main characters were running through. They all developped in a wonderful way, which is clearly noticable in the movie, that's why I think that it is definitely worth being watched, even after having read the book.
