My love for the book fuels my hate for this movie.

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2018)

To anyone who fell in love with the richness of character development, strength of character, the importance of family and the beauty of letters in the actual book, avoid the movie. Your heart will be torn to shreds. This movie took the menial, trivial parts of the book and put that at the focus instead of what the book leads us to know as the ultimate truth. Key characters were completely skipped over, and whole plots were added in that made the characters that were once strong and independent, flabby and frivolous. I cannot see this as a remarkable movie, as it destroyed what the book was about. If you haven't read the book, then by all means, watch this beautifully set chick-flick and then go to the nearest library and actually spend some quality time in quality literature.
