So the people that are saying that the movie closely follows the book, really need to read the book again (BIG parts of the book are left out (especially the ending) and random scenes are added). However, with that said, the movie itself was GREAT!!! I've scene it twice now and the first time I watched it I was more preoccupied of how the movie was so off the book that I didn't sit back and enjoy the movie, the second time I watched it I just forgot about the book and enjoyed the movie and it was an AMAZING production.
