I read this a few years ago and have seen the movie a bunch of times and I really love it. As usual, the book is better than the movie (even though the movie is really good!). The book explores the characters more deeply and I loved the imagery used throughout. I like how it's told from death's pov which makes it a little more unique. Such a sad but beautiful story, highly recommend!
