views on book and film ps i love you

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2008)

Please understand, I am commenting on the film and not the book here, the book was fantastic, funny,sad, warm really true to life, Holly had a great family, brothers and a sister who all had different tales to tell, I felt a part of this family, I loved the way they all got together at Christmas and at the barbecue.My favorite part in the book was when the younger brother filmed the girls on a night out and then won a prize!!!!!! The sad part was when Holly's elder brother was made redundant and his wife left him!!! Holly coped with all of these problems and worries as would have been expected of someone in her situation When Gerry went into the travel agents and booked the tickets for Holly and her friends was a very touching scene and I read it over and over How can the author let the film makers do this to her fantastic book how disappointed was I to see the film, there was only one thing in common with the book "Gerry died" and that was all The book was in Ireland, the film was in New York, the family was a warm and comforting one in Irealand, the film had a sister who was hardly present and the mother a sad old cow whose husband had left her NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK Why do you guys buy books and then change them? If the book is a success then do the film as was the book I think that the people who never read the book will probably love the film, I think that the people who read the book and then saw the film will probably hate it Sorry to be so negative, however I am really angry at seeing a great book completely ruined Thanks for listening I feel better now
