I came to read this from watching the movie and I enjoyed the differences between both but I do like the book a lot better.
The duo POV from Vianne and Father Reynaud were interesting to read as they view each other and the town and how each one wields some power through it all and it created a very beautiful and magical world especially from Vianne whereas Father Reynaud views the world in a practical light, there was a different kind of magic.

Harris wrote a very magical book that hooked me from the opening paragraph with its lush descriptions and details. The characters were an interesting mix of views and traits that were real and fantastical within the word building of this sleepy town.
