Skip the movie, read the book

Rating: 1/10 (17 October 2018)

The book is magic. The characters come alive in the pages to the point where you feel them breathing life into your imagination and it's hard to believe they didn't actually exist. When I finished the book, I missed them like i would miss dear friends.
This movie missed all of this. The characters are wooden, weak and not at all like they are in the book. I know with a movie you have to cut parts out but this movie cut out the heart and soul of the book until there is barely anything left.
As the book is comprised solely of letters of correspondence between all of the characters I was skeptical how they would be successful in making a decent movie and I was not surprised. This is an awful movie and a disgrace to the authors.
