Sep 1, 2016 · The only thing the movie adaptation has over the book (in my opinion) is the ending. While I rate the book highly, the ending was such a kicker.

Jan 31, 2024 · 5/5: Second time reading this book and loved it just the same as the first. I love how each person in the book has their own font and their own voice. I cried almost as hard as the first time. Still glad I never watched the movie because I hear they changed the ending. Big mistake.
