From what the author said, he's hoping the book will eventually be made into a movie.<br /><br /><b>Jenclair</b> - I was really drawn to the cover and premise too. It definitely was interesting stepping into Hassan's world for a little while.<br /><br /><b>Zibilee</b> - Thank you! I admit that I'm not a big fan of foodie literature overall, but I've read a few that probably fall into that category which I ended up really liking.<br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - I hope you enjoy it when you get to it, Staci!<br /><br /><b>Darlene</b> - You too, eh? It really is too bad because I really would like to have gotten to know Hassan more.<br /><br /><b>Andi</b> - As someone who likes strong characterization in her books, it does hurt when a book doesn't come through in that regard. At least it had other things going for it. That's something, at least.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-65003009256404869562010-08-12T22:22:43.895-07:002010-08-12T22:22:43.895-07:00I'm not really at home in kitchen either unles...I'm not really at home in kitchen either unless it comes to baking but I love foodie books for some reason.Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-48646643824802958812010-08-11T16:16:00.781-07:002010-08-11T16:16:00.781-07:00I'm not really that fond of cooking either, bu...I'm not really that fond of cooking either, but for some reason I'm drawn to books like this, where cooking and restaurants are a big part of the story.<br /><br />Go figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-27439481927117888752010-08-11T15:44:06.295-07:002010-08-11T15:44:06.295-07:00That is a gorgeous book cover!

That was my biggest problem with the novel - that I just didn't get to know Hassan as much as I would have liked to but ultimately I still enjoyed the book.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-91242734165872244912010-08-11T07:06:19.222-07:002010-08-11T07:06:19.222-07:00I just find myself drawn to stories about real peo...I just find myself drawn to stories about real people and food!!

My tastes are much simpler and less highly developed than those of a gourmet, so the French cooking would be a mystery and education in itself.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-26187133025577907012010-08-11T06:10:45.795-07:002010-08-11T06:10:45.795-07:00I am assuming this is a true story?

I love food and I love stories about people who achieve their dreams in this area, but with any memoir, I really want to get to know the person and what makes them tick. Too bad this one lacks in that area.<br /><br />It just isn't right if you're not eating much these days Wendy!
