When I heard this book was being made into a movie I was really excited. I read it a while back but decided to re-read it. After reading it again(it was a fantastic book), I was even more excited only to be super disappointed when actually watching the movie. Too many important scenes were eliminated to give you the same good-feeling effect the book had. My Aunt, who hasn't read the book, also thought it was 2 thumbs down. Don't waste your money!!
