I also bought the DVD trilogy of the Emma Harte series after having read all three books. It was interesting to compare the book with the movie version.

I do commend the casting and acting of "A Woman of Substance" especially of Jenny Seagrove and Deborah Kerr. The plot closely resembled the book.

I also liked "Hold the Dream" and was pleased to see Jenny Seagrove cast again although as a different character. However, I found it strange that the movie was set in the 1980s which was chronologically incorrect and inconsistent with the book. Also strange was the fact that it was David Amory who kicked Jonathan and Sarah out of the family again inconsistent with the book....

Now, the movie version of "To be The Best" was a real disappointment to say the least. No disrespect but casting Lindsay Wagner as Paula was a mistake, although the rest of the casting was fine. The plot itself was VERY different from the book. What's this armed robbery they had at the Harte's stores? And Sandy being a gambler? Maddy having a past? Then Paula hitting it off with the security guy and husband Shane as insecure, demanding and unsupportive - what's that all about???? While the book version was as usual well written and a good read, the movie was a joke - a melange of daytime soap and cheap action flick. What happened?????

Let us pray that the hopefully upcoming movie version of Emma's Secrets would not disappoint ....

Hi Kitty - I share your views and wrote a similar criticism of To be the Best on this message board not long ago (see thread 'paula's affair). I also hope (fervently!) that the movie of Emma's Secret (both the casting and plot) will reflect the book as closely as possible.

Because also I had this same impression. for me to be the Best is worse of Emma Harte series ´s book for being very sad but the film, did not have absolutely nothing to see with the book and also was a disappointment.I also hope (fervently!) that the movie of Emma's Secret (both the casting and plot) will reflect the book as closely as possible.

After spending over 500 on games this week that I havent even played yet.. Bought a Wii, FF 13, Heavy Rain, and parts for my new computer... I find myself in the hole again. I was hoping I can finally work and get paid this week but no...

I was suppose to start my first day of work 2 weeks ago. A week ago i went through hell in security, background checks etc... and I ended up not getting certified until this week... Now as I walk in today they told me I was "supposed" to be scheduled for training but some body fuked up and didnt book me. My new racist boss got pretty upset and had a few head rolling. I was pretty pissed too.. To make a long story short, he said he would make it up to me by doubling my salary for the first 2 weeks.. Wow. Thats the best apologize I ever got.... Has this ever happened to you? O_o This almost seems too good to be true... Looking forward to collecting another week of unemployment... >_>
