Great Love Story

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2006)

On a vacation that we took when I was around 12 or 13, my mother read this book out loud to my father as we drove to and from the place where we stayed. I remember waking up in the backseat and looking up to where they were sitting. My mother had stopped reading because she was crying... and my father had tears in his eyes too. It was the sweetest thing.
I didn't see this movie until this summer, but it was absolutely wonderful. One of those movies that has you walking out of the movie theater (or living room, or dorm room as the case may be) blinking into the sunlight (or stumbling into bed) in complete awe that a simple love story could fill you at once with such elation, sorrow, laughter, and pure, raw emotion.
