Best book I have ever read. Love that the story was told by the victim after she is murdered. Did not know how they would translate this to the big screen. Although many details were left out of the movie which allowed it to be PG 13, my 13 yo granddaughter loved it! The story was told in a beautiful way and I think that some of the negative comments means that these people did not get the beautiful spiritual meaning of the movie. Actors did a great job!
