My mom and I've been listening to it on audible (the book), and this movie does an awful job of sticking with the book. There were added things or things taken out or switched around that didn't pertain to the book in the slightest. I would only recommend watching this and then read the book because if you're like me and read books and get mad at movies for not following the book, this will probably make you angry. They could have followed the book more closely.
