When I watched the movie, it wasn't what I expected it to be. I think I was expecting something a little lighter? I don't know. It was ok, but I didn't love it.

I haven't read the book BUT I did read the plot outline of the book on Wikipedia after watching the movie and honestly the book's plot looks better than the movies plot I still like the movie though.
