Moyes has had other books made into movies perhaps that's why the book was sought for a movie quickly? Who knows? I will be interested to see what transpires from here. Because of this I am gong to revisit my review and deduct a star rating because I don't like the controversy surrounding The Giver of Stars. I won't go through all of the comparisons but there are plenty. In both books a librarian is attacked on her route, in both books they are gifted with a book of poems by their true loves. The fact that both had an African American woman in the program, which was not stated anywhere in the factual information but yet Moyes thought to include that after Ms. I was upset when I read the BuzzFeed because it pointed out more comparisons that seem highly unlikely to be accidental. Moyes books it is a quick read, not as descriptively written and revolves a lot around the new British member of the community and the librarian group. The Giver of Stars focused mainly on the Backpack Librarian program and the different women that participated. The story of the blue skinned people was enthralling and an integral part of the story. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, for me, was the better story and more well written.
