I don't understand the controversy at all.  This book is essentially about love. It isn't intended to be of a religion or theology.  Book is beautiful and moving.  The love of my life graduated to heaven and this book helped me heal.

I saw the movie and really liked it a lot.  If you go to see it, be sure to bring a good supply of tissues.

It is controversial.  I won't put any links here, but you can google.  Many Christians are saying to see this with discretion.  It has to do with the theology of the characters that represent the Trinity.  I had no desire to read the book or see the movie personally.


 

lovethedesert:  I read a few pages of the book which belonged to a friend,, put it down and never picked it up again.    Neither the movie or book will be on my "to do list".

@Calcgirl, just put this on my list to read. Problem is 12 others are on the hold list before me at the library. Looking forward to it.
