This a surprising movie.

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2002)

Well, hmm. I read the book first and I liked it so much I've read it 3 times in the last week. I was a bit disappointed by the many changes that are in the movie (the book is in the 1950's, the movie is current times, for one). For the first 30 minutes, I was wondering why I wanted to see the movie at all. But it ended up being very well done and I believe it was faithful to the plot & spirit of the book. I haven't cried for a long time, but I wept crazy at this movie.
