was Becoming Jane Austen by John Spence like the movie? have you seen the movie?

I didn't know there was a book but I LOVED the movie! Its one of those movies that I like to lay on the couch cuddled up on a rainy day with nobody around.

I have seen the movie, and no, the book is not like the movie. The book is a pretty dry biography and talks about her grandparents all the way to her death. The part that the movie is about is only one of the chapters and things like the close connections to the books and the end where she meets the other Jane are embellished by the director. I would only suggest the book to hardcore Austen fans. But I think the movie is beautiful and it maked me cry!
