I really loved this book. One of the main things I loved about it was that it followed the movie almost to a T. That's so incredibly rare and I usually feel let down if the movies and books don't coincide. While there were some really cheesy parts, I found myself unable to put it down towards the end of the book.
One of the negative sides was that I really didn't feel Catherine's emotions as much as I felt Caleb's. To me it felt as though she was whiny and frigid mostly. There was one conversation between her and her mother that I really got a glimpse of what she felt. Otherwise she felt like a bratty teenager. What with her whole pushing her husband away, then cursing him in her mind for leaving. Then when he came back, she got mad that he came back. She was unable to please and I really didn't like her too much.
Caleb on the other hand was more identifiable. I could feel his heart being ripped out.
Overall I would still recommend this book in a heartbeat to anyone.
Five stars for sure.
