Brilliant book
I'm only half way through this book and I am really enjoying it I couldn't wait any longer to write my review. I was expecting it to be exactly like the movie, but it's so much better I love all the references to the different movies,music,authors and video games which are my favourite things to do in my spare time .Brilliant book a must read only wish I'd read it before I'd seen the movie!!

Read the book don't see the movie
One of Crichton's best. It will be hard to put down once you start reading it. Too bad the people who made the movie never read it.

I saw this movie on Netflix and within the first few minutes I was in love with the story and of course, Peter Kavinsky. It was like the perfect teen romance novel. To my delight, it was! A trilogy dedicated to the love story of Lara Jean and Peter. After reading the books, I feared I wouldn’t love the movie anymore. That’s not the case though. The movie was true to the quirkiness of the book. I will find pleasure in both rereading the book series and rewatching the movie!

CoS is definitely not my favorite book in the HP series, and strangely enough, the movie made me like the book more. Christopher Columbus was very faithful to the book, as he was with SS. In the book, I thought Lockhart was an annoying twit, but Kenneth Branagh made him hilariously bearable, which made the movie for me. So, thanks Kenneth Branagh for making my least favorite HP book more likeable.

Awesome kids book
I loved reading this book as a kid. I enjoyed the movie but it was very different from the book. The one thing the movie kept was her "gift" otherwise I remember it as being very different than the book. Its been a long time since I read this book, so I can't give a full length review other than to say it was an awesome read.

The movie was half and half to the book. Not too different but fairly noticeable. The movie downplayed a lot of relationships and upped the cheese. Great movie and book.

I’m kind off obsessed with Ready Player One at the moment, book and movie. And now I can’t stop listening to 80s classics.

I loved Ready player one, the book. And I'm hoping the movie is just as good. I feel that it won't be long until we join the immersive world and loose ourselves in a similar environment.

Not the book
You have to logically separate the book from the movie. They are not the same universe, and they are not the same zombies. If you can do this, then this is a good movie.

The combat is good, characters are decent, and it doesn't feel terribly unrealistic.
