I was able in my mind at that time to contrast the two books and I appreciated the humor and different approach to the serious subject of cancer. I liked it and thought it would appeal to my male readers who don't go in for sappy. Fast forward three years and this week my daughter and I went to see the movie. In my mind the movie was very similar to the books with a few odd differences. After the credits rolled I turned to my daughter and she exclaimed, "They made Greg way nicer in the movie than in the book." Three years and I have forgotten how obnoxious he was. I still recommend you see the movie, but I think you will find it quite different than the book.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-16803970473609611822015-07-09T09:57:51.855-05:002015-07-09T09:57:51.855-05:00Great review.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I've seen the film though!<br /><br />~Ailsa @ <a href="http://thebookbundle.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Book Bundle</a>Ailsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824021953575422303noreply@blogger.com
