Good way to make you potentially think that you now hate a movie that you love. The author been like “How can I be more creepy about women in this one?”

Well .... I didn't see that coming

We've read this book for school, and since we're a bit under time pressure, I finished it quite fast ig ... but I don't think that was the only reason for the end of it to feel rushed.
In my opinion there was not enough time to process everything that was happening so suddenly.

Another thing:
Metaphorically speaking, I have died of second-hand embarrassment multiple times while reading .
Some parts of the lovestories were just too much. I also didn't get why Chris just forgave Knox for what happend at the party, they didn't even talk about it properly. WHY? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
However, overall it wasn't tooooooooo bad though, I liked Mr. Keating's lessons and I think most of them can be important for life. English is my 2nd language, therefore I'm unfamiliar with English poetry so I'm also curious to see what we'll talk about it in class :)

(I don't think I want to watch the move tho)

for the first time i am saying this the movie was so much better than the book.

the author sucked out all of the good things about romance and only left the cheapness behind. what a waste of time.

although i like the story, i feel like it works a lot better as a movie. the writing style is pretty simplistic which makes it easy to read, but it kinda reads like a wattpad story i wouldve written in 5th grade (writing style wise, not action wise). there is also an SA scene which i thought was wildly unnecessary. despite all this, im very attached to the story and to its characters so my heart wouldnt let me rate it any lower :)
