i absolutely loved the book , it felt like an emotional rollercoaster and i balled my eyes out while reading the end. i recommended the book to anyone who would listen to my opinion.
i was over thrilled when i got news they were making a movie.
when it came out i was so ready to watch it.
i feel they did a good job getting some scenes aligned with how they were in the book.
although i would say i was very disappointed with the actor they chose to play lily , it’s just not who i envisioned and i feel she didn’t play to lilys character that well. i saw lily as innocent soft, sweet, strong, naive at times, caring and full of emotion but blake just didn’t meet that standard to me. i feel she even played her a little mean on some scenes like the way she would say things and just not a tone i would expect. same goes for younger lily she just didn’t portray lily her looks did but not the acting. As for Ryle i wasn’t too sure how i felt but in the end i feel Justin played Ryle very well.
younger atlas was a bad choice because he look very different from older atlas. i was also okay with older atlas, he played his gentle character very well. overall i’d give it a 3/5 i will want to watch it another time and dig in to other details i may have missed.
