All i can say is that this was an amazing book. The movie was definitely not my favourite thing. There were way too many differences between the movie and novel. They left out 2 of the most important parts of the novel, which were his mother, and Fay. Although, if they had of included these characters, the film would have been a lot longer. This film has some parts where it was just so bad that you could laugh along to it. But some parts were just way over-the-top and actually bad. The music was unbelievable. Overall though, the movie is definitely a must-see, but i recommend reading the novel first so you know everything about whats going on, and more.
