I was worried

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2012)

Dear god I was so worried... this was my favorite book in high school, rates pretty highly on my list now, and when I found out it was going to be a movie, I was filled with dread. I tend to hate when books become movies (who doesn't?) and I thought this would have been no different. I found out that Chbosky was going to be involved (although I didn't know to what extent) and my fear lessened, but not by all that much. I knew I liked the actors for the most part, and some even fit the picture I had in my head. I was still worried. I had no reason to be, the movie was great, did it skip out on some parts I loved? yes, but the feeling of the book remained. I always felt outside of myself after reading that book and I walked out of the movie feeling the same. Logan Lerman made a pretty good Charlie, Emma Watson was great as Sam, Ezra Miller was perfect as was Paul Rudd. Bottom Line: go see it, even if (maybe especially if) you've read the book.
