Has anyone read ‘Chocolat’, or seen the movie?

I was kind of intrigued by the book, when it came up in my BookBub recommendations.

Saw ‘Chocolat’ on the small screen. Must have been on one of the Direct TV channels several years ago. Good movie. A candy maker changed the attitudes of an entire town. Johnny Depp, rather than playing a pirate, played a gypsy.

The movie was magical. I liked it. Joanne Harris writes very good books; she’s more prolific than I remembered!

I didn’t care for the “Chocolat” movie and never got to the end. Most times the books are much better than the movies.

I saw it ages ago. It was a movie I should have liked, but I found it tedious. I am probably in the minority in not caring for it.
