I read the book a while ago, and I had high expectations for the movie. The book gave lots of details and raw emotion. The book is so beautiful and unforgetful; this movie didn't portray that at all. Reading books isn't what I usually do, but this book is something that I could read 32598 times, and I would still feel the same emotions. This movie left out some essential scenes as those scenes added to the "story". I recommend reading the book then watching this, as the movie doesn't capture how the book left me feeling after reading it.
