Well, I just finished this book after 3 days and I have to say it is definitely in the top 5 for me. I'm curious to see what others on here thought about it. I absolutely loved it and cried at the end. :oops: Amazing, truly haunting novel.

But, for those of you who read it when it came out, you've probably forgotten about it, and haven't researched it lately. Well since this forum is for books and movies....

Directed by Marc Foster (director of Stranger Than Fiction)



I'm really looking forward to this movie, especially since I just finished the book. But what did you guys think of it as a novel?

I've heard nothing but good things about this novel. Everyone that I know that has read it has been very vocal about the emotional ending and its overall intensity.

I went to see this movie last night and it was the best movie I've seen in a while. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie, but it didn't play out that way. I'll be starting the book tonight.

It was great to watch a movie with some substance and not just special effects and boring dialogue like 99% of mainstream movies.
