I honestly thought they could have done better...

Rating: 5/10 (9 September 2014)

I read the book just days before watching this movie. I thought, after seeing trailers and reading the book, that this movie would make me at least tear up here and there; the book definitely did. But I was much too distracted with the things they changed. I understand that it's difficult to follow the book,but seriously... they could have done better. I think that they should have kept the part where she finds her parent dead at the beginning. It would have been more effective emotion wise. And they left out what seemed to me to be important flashbacks; they even changed some. And the ending extremely disappointed me. Adam did not write her a song and the fact that they put that in made me mad! He was supposed to say, "Don't make me write a song about you." And he puts on her song after begging her to stay and then she wakes up. That was, in my understanding, what brings her back in the book. It was an excellent movie, don't get me wrong they just could have done better...
