It just made me hate the characters and how stupid they were. They needed to just speak up and tell each other how they felt. They wasted so much time and for no good reason at all. I was not impressed. So happy with the decisions they made for the film adaptation.

But even if I had a thought about you've definitely made up my mind for me. Does not sound like a book I would enjoy either. It kind of sounds like it had a One Day vibe, which I loved, one of my most favourite books. But I guess it clearly doesn't deliver there. Great review! I might think about seeing the movie next year if I come across it on Netflix. But definitely a no for the book. <br />Happy reading!<br />Brittany @ <a href="http://thisisthestoryofmyreadinglife.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow"> This is the Story of My(Reading) Life </a>BrittanyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645210938042967995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-24832482907273146132014-11-28T14:44:32.196+00:002014-11-28T14:44:32.196+00:00I hadn't even heard of this one, but it sounds...I hadn't even heard of this one, but it sounds like I won't be reading it. That's an insane time period to cover!! And I can see if they just keep doing the same dumb things over and over again that it would drive me crazy too. Not to mention the whole technology thing and what year it is, etc. That's something that can stay in the back of my mind an entire book and bother me. Great review…looks like I'll be seeing the movie without reading the book (and I'm the same way, I like the read the book first if there is one).

The trailer of the film looks really promising, and I enjoy the actors. I like the fact that the book is told in letters/emails/etc, but didn't know that it was paced from childhood up until the characters were in their 50's. That kind of puts me off. I think I'll still plan on reading this one, but maybe I'll just watch the movie without bothering to read the book first. Thanks for a wonderful review, Charnell - hopefully your next read is much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-381333598631369232014-11-26T22:14:36.181+00:002014-11-26T22:14:36.181+00:00Eh, this doesn't sound like a book I would lik...Eh, this doesn't sound like a book I would like! I can't believe it spans such a long period of time - it would be frustrating to have that much of their lives shown to you, especially as books are usually just a snippet of what is happening to the character. I also don't like the sound of it being repetitive... in total I think this is one of those books I am going to skip. I hope you like the movie a lot more than the book. <br /><br />http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/2014/11/transformed-blog-tour-giveaway.htmlOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-74229581640928891562014-11-26T21:38:46.394+00:002014-11-26T21:38:46.394+00:00Ohhhh dear.

The movie was so much better and to be honest, I'm so glad that it didn't drag into their 50s. The movie ended where the the book should off--with the events fast forwarded about 20 years, jeebus.

I think they're not doing the 50 year thing. I read somewhere that the movie will do 12 years instead of 50 so that's more tolerable and less miserable, I guess.
