Well this movie almost passed by without me ever noticing it by the lack of publicity at least in my country where the book is known by everyone....(weird, isn't it?). I don't read much so I can't really "decide" when and if the book is better then the movie ( there's a lot of that kind of discussion with several movies and I usually tend to stay away ) but this is my favorite book of all time so obviously i'm suspicious to talk about it. On top of that I don't like Sarah.It was a poor cast choise, so it's two points behind for the movie; also the film skips some very important pieces and moments in the character(s)development. Everything happens way to fast... Still, it's a little life lesson and tries to prove that love can cure everything(?).
