Read the book and skip the movie. The book was WAY better by a long shot. So much was changed from the book that it makes it hard to stomach watching this movie. I was very disgusted by how much was changed from the actual story. Had they made this into a mini series they could have really went into the story deeper and kept things more true to how the book reads. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone let alone someone who read and loved the book. What a waste of a good story. Felt rushed.
