I loved the After books, I read all of them and boy were they an emotional roller coaster. I will say if you are going to watch the After movie hoping that it is as good as the books then it is not. It does not compare to the books, but then again no Book-to-movie is really ever as good as the book originally was. Overall the After movie by itself is quite good ! But, I went into it expecting to see an amazing movie like the books , and I was disappointed , they changed the characters names (probably for legal reasons) which shocked me at first, but I got used to it. Then they mashed the first and second After into one movie, which made all of the events go way too quickly in a one hour and forty five minute movie. This movie is nowhere on or with the books it was based off of. But, by itself , it is a rather good movie.
