Memoirs of a Cupcake

I love it when they turn bestselling novels into movies, especially classics...and those destined to become classics. I know there are plenty of purists that hate it when the story is 'hollywooded-up', but in my mind, the movie-making brings beautiful narratives to the masses who might not otherwise have ever been tempted towards the book. Perhaps, in my ideal world, watching the film may even cause many to WANT to read the book! Anyway, this was a gorgeous story of a life lived under circumstances we Westerners have no concept of whatsoever. If you haven't read the book, it is beautiful. Amazing. And if you aren't tempted by the novel, watch the film. :)
