movie > book

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2014)

In a way it hurts me to say this but I liked the movie way more than book. This is the best book adaptation to a movie I have ever seen.
The book seemed less dramatic than movie. When reading I laughed quite a lot and didn't cry even once. Honestly, the book to me seemed pretentious and disappointing. On the other hand watching the movie I did laugh a few times but my face felt more like crying than smiling.
I have to admit that I was quite surprised to see John Green in the movie himself. But, I guess, if he was working on the set anyways, why not appear in a shot as well?
One of my favorite parts (not related to movie or novel) was the scene at a café where on the table were two giraffes who love giraffes. I was so geeking out about this vlogbrother reference.
Actually, when I think about it, I am not sure I like the plot. And frankly and I want to think about it because I don't to ruin my first impression of the movie. I do know that I liked what I saw and what I felt during the movie. And that is enough for me.
