In this particular case I'd say just watch the movie. I didn't realise initially that the movie came first. So naturally that explains why it didn't add any depth in the way books usually do.

"here's my review : not gay enough."

as much hope this book gave as much it was painful. to suck the marrow of life is hard, it’s exhausting, it takes time and it isn’t sometimes pleasant.
i related to neil so much i saw myself in him. to be told you’ll spend your entire life living someone else’s dream and not even enjoying any parts of freedom not even the simplest of it; the freedom of thinking, of dreaming, of living. i can’t blame him for what he did.
and i believe everyone in their early age should have a teacher like mr. keating, mr. keating was a wise man, he existences felt like an apology for the cruelty of this world and i believe life was harsh on so many young people and the deserve that apology.

Im still confused as to HOW this was allowed to be printed. Like the book is not nearly as good as the movie. I started the movie and paused halfway through and somehow ended up reading the book first. NO BECAUSE LITERALLY WTF WAS THIS.

this book was so incredibly BORING !!

to say i was disappointed is an understatement. being so incredibly in love with the film, i was so excited to pick up this read. this is probably the first time i would ever say the film is wayyy better than the book. the plot has no depth and the ‘climax’ is so insanely lacking. i developed no emotional connection to any of the characters and i feel like their personalities were not fluffed out. i felt no enjoyment through the triumphs and self discoveries. i think this may be due to the length of the book; it was pretty short and i feel like more words were needed to advance the story. i genuinely don’t understand how someone read this and said “this would make a great film adaption”, but i’m glad they did because at least now we have good representation of a promising story which initially fell short of anything remotely brilliant.

films got to be even better right
