Slightly overhyped with massive plot gaps

I had read a great number of reviews about this eccentric book, but perhaps it was a little too quirky for my liking. There are major similarities with Chuck Palahniuk in terms of the exaggerated style of writing and general shock factor, unfortunately it did not seem to deliver. The characters were undeveloped and there seem to be a lot of loose ends at the end of the book such as what actually happened to B and C? While I can understand the moralistic nature of the story, attacking the usage of food as a means to control people, there seemed to be something missing.

You will cry

"If you don't cry, then you are a psychopath" is what my girlfriend said to me before starting the film.
I don't think Emilia Clarke actually acted in this film, I think we see how funny and quirky she is in real life.
As with most British films we have plenty of humour, some drama and some sad bits and this film delivered on them all.
It is a great film, very well acted and shot in some stunning places.
I am not ashamed to say that I did cry at the end and challenge anyone to say they didn't after watching it.

I absolutely loved the book but i was disappointed with the film. I had imagined the characters and settings in such a different way.

A book no matter your age you just want to jump right into.

How I've made it to almost 30 years old without reading this book I will never know I grew up on the movie it was my dad and my brother's favorite movie and we had it on constantly in the house. I really wanted to start this year with a fun and easy read and something that's been on my to be read list for most of my life and in the end I really did enjoy it it was super fun and quirky and from beginning to end just a really great book.

Over complicated plot

Ryan Reynolds saves the film by being Ryan Reynolds

As a film adaption it is really good, however the plot is overcomplicated for kids. The other actors are not brilliant, Ryan Reynolds saves the day by simply being Ryan Reynolds. He's funny and quirky, his voice is perfect for the role.

The film felt longer than what it is which is not good. An hour in I thought it must be over but sadly not.

However, the references and the visual effects were amazing and worthy of a 7 star review.
