Highly recommend the book.

I couldn't finish it. I got to the middle of the book and stopped there. I don't want to give away anything with my review.

Did you know there was a thread on this under tv and movies and they removed it because they said it was a duplicate of a thread?? A movie, not a book. Evidently they don't know what they're doing.

@Judaline I didn't see it but if it was a duplicate thread it's a standards violation to do that and they always delete duplicates.

Called "crossposting" - same thread in more than one forum.We're supposed to pick one forum and post the thread only once.

My point is, they are not savvy enough to know we are talking about two different things- a movie is not a book, even if the movie is based on the book. People want to know, 'did you like the movie?' 'did you like the book?' They are clueless.

I hated the book and quit when I hit the major twist!

All I know is they have a policy against the same conversation started in more than one forum and I wasn't sure if everybody knew that which was my point.

I think the OP could email them if she wanted it changed?

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.

A friend of mine was raving about the book she saw the movie after she read the book and now I am interested to go see the movie rather than read the book first.

Excellent book and excellent movie. Bring tissue.

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.

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.
