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.

An amazing novel, would definitely read it again. I was rooting for all of them (except Knox at the end cuz wtf man) and it really hurt to see what they were going through. The message of this book and what Oh Captain, My Captain tried to teach them is extremely valuable advice. Everyone should follow it.
