The movie would have been much better if i had not read the book first. Ive read it atleast 15 times before i watched the movie and it did not do it justice. But its understandable though. It would take to much time and money to completely make the book into reality. Also most things would be pretty hard to recreate that you had imagined while reading the book.

Normally, I like to read a book before I see a movie, but this book wasn't available from the library prior to me seeing the movie. Well, luckily, it's completely different. I'm not going to compare them at all.
This was a quick read. The first person narrative worked well with the story. The story was interesting and well paced. I'll definitely read the next book in the series.

Good ... but the book is better
I read the book first so the movie had a lot to live up to in my opinion and just couldn't quite do it. It is nice to have a Christian based movie in the theaters. But a movie just about God's grace and the trinity is a huge undertaking. That being said, it was well done and I'd watch it again.

The book is good, but the movie is better
A rare case where the movie is better than the book. I like the changes they made, especially Lex, who in the book is not only brat, which I could handle, but she's stupid as f*** too. I don't think most eight-year-olds are quite this idiotic. Otherwise, it's a good book and I did enjoy the information that expanded onto what the movie was limited to provide.

I liked the book. It added some much needed back-story to a good movie.
What I don't understand is everyone complaining about the ending. I re-watched the movie right after I finished the book, just to see if I missed something...it ended just the same!
So...either I got a bad edition of the book...or I am just missing something glaringly obvious!

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!!

Funny
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.
