    Not only is it based on one of my favourite books, but it will probably always be one of those movies I will never stop loving, either.

    Okay, I found this movie was almost nothing like the book and that was a disappointment. Also, I found the actors weren't that good, in fact, to me it seemed like they were forcing it so it looked fake.

    The only good thing about this movie was the end, which I struggled to get t...( read more)o, but I had to watch it all... all the while hoping it would get better...
