I'm not sure what else to say without getting into spoilers. The ending is VERY different in the book, and I don't often say this, but I preferred the ending in the movie. I can see why the ending as written wouldn't have played well with test audiences. I don't know if that's what happened, but I found the ending abrupt and unsatisfying, as if the author couldn't quite decide where to go next. I don't always have a problem with ambiguous endings, but it felt out of place here.
Otherwise, this was thoroughly delightful, and--apart from the ending--I feel like if you're a fan of the movie, you will definitely enjoy this book.
Graphic: Religious bigotry and Domestic abuse
Moderate: Racism, Classism, and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Animal death
All the graphic-to-moderate details mentioned are major themes, and also included in the film adaptation, so if you've seen the movie that's a good indicator for what to expect. The one animal death is NOT included in the movie, and it's of an old and deeply loved pet dying of natural causes, and happens off-page.veronica_reed's review against another edition
