Hey what movie is ever as good as the book?? I thought it was great, no one can ever live up to who they have created in their mind ....The amount of description and feeling Stephanie creates seriously its nearly impossible to get it in on a low budget film and 2 hrs of time ...I think Rob and Kristen were great ....I cant wait to see it again !!! Of course I am an older objective fanatic but hey thats my 2 cents....It covered the important stuff ...but I would reccomend like some other reviewers to read it or you may be confused....
