I will admit that my opinion of this is severely impacted by the fact that I read this book shortly before watching the film adaptation. I absolutely loved the book. Then I watch the film and it seems like they made subtle changes to some characters, more significant changes to others, removed some parts of the book entirely and changed things around that, in my humble opinion, would have been much better left unchanged. The film failed to reach the same emotional level and love for the characters that the novel left me with. As a result, I found the film very lacking in many areas. I can only assume that those who rated this so highly did so without reading the book. So if you've not read the book, this may be a great film. If you've read it, prepare for not a small amount of disappointment.
