Pale imitation of the book

Rating: 2/10 (16 November 2019)

The book has a great paragraph;
'Maybe, he thought, there aren't any such things as good or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.'
So many scenes missing, so many great moments missing, but most importantly the love between the kids just wasn't there.
It's a beautiful book, don't bother with the film and put the time you would have spent watching it into reading it.
