I won't tell you what it's all about, the plot and all, but I will say that it is well worth reading. I felt very connected to the book and had to keep a piece of paper and pen by me in order to write down quotations that I felt really impacted me. I loved every page and every moment of the story.
I also really enjoyed the religious aspect of the book. I connect to aspects in life that are spiritual, which is probably why I connected to the book so easily. Once I finished I was amazed. I didn't want to stop reading. I craved more. But alas, there has to be an ending, and it was a grand one.
I saw the movie in 3D and I must say that I am usually skeptical of 3D movies. But this one is a must see in 3D. It was beautiful and breathtaking. The shots were amazing and I enjoyed every moment of the movie, just as I did the book. I knew to go in with the expectation that it would not be exactly like the book, but I think the movie did the book justice. I might even say that the movie is on my favorite movies list.
At the end of the movie, or a little before the actual end, I shed a tear or two. I am not ashamed at all. I see it as a really good sign. I don't like to cry in movies, or really in front of people. This movie touched my heart and I had already read the book and knew what was going on. That's how I knew it was a good movie. It touched my heart. I couldn't help but cry because again, I could relate to what was being said. This is a moment I cherish.
My recommendation is to read the book then go see the movie (preferably in 3D). Both affect the audience in different ways. As they should.
