3.0

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.

the movie was better than the book, but it was nice to see some deleted scenes written out as a part of the story - it kept the story from being so familiar it was boring. however, me having watched dead poets society countless times, i was basically watching the film in my mind while reading this.
