Welcome! And yes, the book is great! It was the first Alice Hoffman book I'd read, and actually the best of the ones I've tried. There's a lot in the book that could not be put into the movie, so it's a good way to learn more about these characters! Enjoy!

Alice Hoffman has a very distinctive writing style as I'm sure you're aware of by now. I was very sorry the Aunts weren't the same in the book as they were in the film. Aunts Jet and Frannie were the best part of the movie!!

As for Nicole Kidman, she's exquisite. Sandra Bullock's the best, too.
