equal if not better than the book

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2004)

i honestly did not know what to expect with this adaptation from sparks' beautifully written novel. however, i was happily surprised by the movie that played before me.
it was gracefully acted and the script was true to the story. i cried just as much this time as i had when i read the novel and i fell in love with the story all over again.
if you haven't read the book, then read it. the book is amazing so i recommend completing that first. but absolutely make sure you also go see the movie. it shines just as brightly as the novel, if not more so.
