Why Read? : I jumped the bandwagon and got into this book when the movie came out, and it's just so, so, so great! Don't judge the book by the movie, though, because they're different and the book is just ten times better. It's a not only a tragic, but beautiful love story, but it tells the amazing story between a caring but socially awkward father and a disgruntled son who didn't know what he had until it was gone. There were so many tears shed reading this book and I can honestly say it is one of my absolute favorites.
Comments: "Again, book > movie. Don't forget that!"
