Well my streak continues...that would be the streak where I enjoy a book much more than I do the movie adaption. I don't usually see a movie & then read the book, but in this case I did just that. I saw this movie ages ago & enjoyed it, but damn the real story has so much more color & life to it than the movie. It really makes you think about life, love, & forgiveness. What an amazing story on the power of love & how your perspective on things changes throughout your life. Your experiences shape the way you see things & you just may be surprised & how drastically those experiences can shift your whole view of a situation.
I adore this book! It is very easy to get lost in.

This is a very rare instance for me where I think I actually preferred the movie. It was interesting to see where the movie had to diverge from the book to really make certain things stand out, but it was an amazing listen. You really got to know the women involved and see the incredible journey along the way. The book got very technically detailed in some places and I'm simply not mathematically or scientifically minded to not zone out on those parts. That being said, this is a read I would like to revisit. This book also made me want to delve more into the incredible achievements women have made in so many fields that they may not be widely recognized for.

I started reading this book the night I watched the movie because I found the characters to be so sweet. Was not disappointed and have already finished the series. I found this book to be refreshing and simple. It feels like a story I have heard before and yet has a sweetness that is unique.

This movie (and the book) freaked me out so much as a kid (and certainly contributed to my coulrophobia). I went to see the remake and thought it was just as awesome (though Tim Curry will always be my Pennywise). I'm actually planning to read the book again soon, and then I'll watch this one again (with the lights on, of course).

Not as good as the book
It was a good representation of the book, however it kind of droned on and was slow paced.
The book involved a lot more in-depth description of Elio and his feelings towards Oliver even though it was also quite slow paced. The depth of how the book was written though made up for it, as it kept you wanting to read it more.
I would most likely watch the film again as it is still quite good and is a great coming of age movie. Furthermore, there were some funny moments within the movie.
Would recommend the movie, however I think that the book is definitely worth reading as it portrays it a lot better
