After reading the book the movie was sooooo disappointing. I know no move lives up to the book, but the relationship in the book had a nice development, where it felt forced in the movie. Also, there were a couple of key plot lines in the book that were completely left out. I kept waiting for those scenes, and the movie felt empty without them.

That was a great review! Thank you it’s the first I’ve read. We are not getting it here in Australia for a few months yet but I’m looking forward to it.

I loved, loved, loved the book but I haven’t seen the movie yet. I am usually disappointed by movies when I’ve loved the book, but not always. I will definitely be watching the movie at some point.

Nice review.

It is a great review, but I cannot see it until I've read the book. I know I'm the last person on earth to read it, but I KNOW I will be ruined if I see the movie first. Even though I think Rachel McAdams is way perfect. .-= Sandy´s last blog ..Who Loves Ya, Baby? =-.

I really want to see this one! The book was great, so I am hoping the movie does hold up.

Great review. I haven't read the book yet, and at this point, think I'll wait until after I see the movie. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Review: Apologize, Apologize! =-.

I totally agree. The book was SO SO good and it would have been impossible for the movie to completely portray the novel. After getting over the initial whiplash from the first scenes of the movie, I could get into the characters and plot. I think that the casting, set design, wardrobe, etc. was great and very appealing to watch. The actress who played young Claire was SO SWEET! .-= Sarah´s last blog ..Scrappy String Quilt =-.

Nice review, this is one of my all time favourite books I’ve ever read. So I’m boycotting the movie like the plague. I know I’ll pick at every angle and scene or lack there of and don’t want the book to be ruined for me.

I love the story of how love and friendship is a timeless thing, and how we use or time together to make it count so it looks like they sorta did that, but I still don’t think it will ever do the book justice in my eyes.

But your review does make it seem they did their best to keep some of that in. Thanks again.
