I am a 35 year old married mother of 2 boys, I have read all 4 books, and can honestly say that I have been obsessed. I was anxiously awaiting the movie, and have to say I was not disappointed. Yes, there are some things missing from the book, but it was blended well. I really enjoyed it! The only drawback was the SCREAMING girls in the theater! It was, at times, hard to hear, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a compelling love story.
