great example of how to ruin a perfectly good book

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2018)

So Will looks nowhere near a real quad. Two years after the accident, he's still buff, healthy looking and wayyy to happy to be a depressed man who wants to go to Dignitas. They couldn't even bother to make him look less like a marathon man?
Clarke is just way too animated and silly most of the time, I'm really bummed out they didn't make more deep characters and challenged the actors. And she's supposed to be poor right? For a part of the book she's the sole provider of both her parents and granddad and she's still walking in really fancy detailed and hard to get outfits. Yes the book points out her colorful clothes, but these film makers appear to have no idea what you'd really look like if you're poor. or maybe they do and they're pressured into never making a chick flick that is realistic! Ugh makes me so pissed! It's like watching Sex and the City where they magically are just wealthy, because who wants to look at poor people?
The book delves pretty good into the miserable life of being depressed and paralyzed - but this book doesn't even scratch the surface.
It just feels like a money movie - to quickly go over all the events in the book and none of the actual emotion.
Urgh I'm so disappointed.
