I have long been interested in classic popular fiction, the best sellers of yesteryear. Grace Metalious's novel Peyton Place has been on my radar for several years. I'm pleased to say that when I finally did read it, I found a very well written novel, not just the shocking pot-boiler I was expecting.
Sandy over at You've GOTTA Read This and I planned a set of joint book/movie review posts for Book Bloggers Appreciation Week one discussing the novel and one discussing the 1957 film based on it.
But life got in the way. And I discovered how much fun it is to make animated movies at Xtranormal.com.
So, better late than never, I guess. Our discussion of the movie is below. For our discussion of the book, visit Sandy's blog at You've GOTTA Read This.
Keep in touch for our up-coming project about Stephen King's novella Blockade Billy.

I love these videos that you and Sandy made - what a creative way to do your joint reviews! And so funny.
I love the comment you added "This doesn't happen on Sunday Salons". Crack me up! Now onward to Blockade Billy!!!
Hi James! I just want to tell you I enjoyed your and Sandy's videos. What fun and so creative!
I did not know about this book and never heard about it at all... need to check it out.
Sounds as though I need to give the movie a miss! I'm going to get the book though - thanks for such original reviews :-)
I found your site through Sandy's blog and found your joint videos hilarious and wonderful! You guys are too creative! Very awesome job with these. I will be visiting again.
These videos are great. I am very tempted to do it myself but am worried it might become an obssession.
Carrie, Thank you. :-)
Sandy, I still wish we could make both avatars dance at the same time. You probably can if you buy the software download.
Melody, Thank you. :=)
Veens, It's a good book. We did both agree on that.
farmlanebooks, If you have to choose one, go with the book. It is the better experience.
Zibilee, Thank you. Hope to see you back real soon.
Thomas, They are fun, they are addictive, you may be wise to stay away.
You two definitely boogie with the best of them. As I wrote at Sandy's, you guys are PRICELESS in more ways than one.
So...book, yes; movie, no. Got it.
Well done! I can't wait for your next collaboration!
