I read and enjoyed the book. The acting in the movie was terrific. It's a tough story, but a story of love.

gritty.......

The performances were great, and I enjoyed the movie very much. The book is so good, though, that it was hard not to compare. If you haven't already read the book, see the movie first!

It was an interesting story and makes me want to read the book, but it was a bit slow in parts. I did like the fact that the movie was made in such a way that it did not require an R rating.
