Personally I think the production crew did the movie dirty, why stray from the book? So many important events missed out and the deaths of characters were changed so much. It feels really low budget, of course i think some of the shots were beautiful especially shots of the school (what a beautiful building). I feel with a better production crew, higher budget, keeping to the story line from the book, this movie could have done amazing. There was never anything wrong with the book, Lauren Kate did an incredible job.
