Amish fiction novels: How close are they to actual Amish life, and are the movies based on these novels really worth watching?
Amish themed novels are extremely popular today, and I'm sure the bulk of its readers would be woman. I may not be a reader of these novels, but i have read some reviews of a few movies that were based on some of the more popular books, especially from author Beverly Lewis. And some of the biggest complaints have been that some of these movies have not followed the novels from which they were based on, or they were not an accurate depiction of Amish life. In your opinion, which movie based on these Amish fiction novels has successfully followed the storyline from the book to television?. And which one more closely resembled true Amish life?.
