Sher Free✌️

"In the movie, a character says that a books comparison of a hospital room is like a plays version of a book. This movie is like plays version of the book. Large parts of it have been clipped out so that you have no idea what is going on. It’s like the producers read it and then made the movie but the editors came along and took chunks out willy nilly. It’s missing a lot of what gave the book life but it had the framework for being a good movie and I did cry but only bc I knew what happened in the book. Read the book!"

"Well there were parts of this that were comical, but there were also parts where I bawled my eyes out. Great film. "

"I book about book ppl! What’s not to like! Well developed characters, some moral to the characters, some surprise twists woven into an engaging story. I really enjoyed this book!"
