Summary: book better than movie
Review: once again, i read this book years befoe the movie came out and i'm happy i did b/c the book was so much better. the ending was better and the plot was better. her best freind (whoopi goldberg's character in the movie)wasn't even alive in the book at all. she went to jamaica by herself when she met winston. but i think you should all read the book b/c it leaves you more emotional that the movie.

Summary: Good!
Review: Like a previous reviewer I also listened to the audiobook recording of How Stella Got Her Groove Back which was written by Terry McMillan who also narrates the audio recording and I thought the story was very entertaining. How Stella Got Her Groove Back is about a 42 year old woman named Stella who goes to Jamaica and gets involved with Winston a guy in his 20's and I thought this audiobook was pretty good and I recommend it and the next time I get to a used book store I will look for the paperback book!

Summary: More than a love story
Review: Terry McMillan writes more than a love story here. We meet Stella a 42 year old high powered African American woman whose been divorced 3 years and has an adorable 11 year old son Quincy. All Stella's life is about is being a dedicated mother and career woman, that changes when she's fired. Quincy goes to visit dad and Stella and her "FRIEND" decide she needs sometime for herself to do something fun. The very rich details about her 9 day trip to Jamaica make you feel as if you're lying right next to her. She meets Winston, a 20 year old chef's assistant who keeps Stella weak literally! Stella is steadily questioning the weight of this escapade that leaves the island and follows her back to her home where her life that she was use to is now being challenged. I loved the relationship that Stella and her son Quincy share it's very open and relaxed.

Summary: GOOD BOOK
Review: A little unrealistic but that's good every once in a while. A little different than the movie but that's always the case.
