I really dislike reading about boys obsessing over girls and their looks, but this book is still fantastic! (how could it not be, when based on such a fantastic movie?). I wanted to sob, but I was really tired (sobbed in spirit).

The movie was certainly better. 
Better thought out and with scenes that really hit. I still got some enjoyment out of reading this book, but the movie was just so much more emotional. The characters more loveable. 

And there were some weird scenes written in here to be honest. Like the part with Knox and Chris and the scene where Keating shows questionable photos to some teenage boys. The movie came first and had some great scenes that weren't put in the book but they added these weird and uncomfortable ones??? Like, just no.
