I think now, because the movie has been released there is heavy focus on comparison. I haven't seen the movie, I don't plan to either. I was told that if I didn't think it was based on the book it would be good. I still don't want to see it, because I like this book for it truthful portrayal, it was so easy to relate to and unfortunately, even though it did win so much acclaim when it first came out, I just don't feel it was enough.

This book was extremely good and I think that the movie was well done also. It was pretty accurate except that a couple characters were left out and Lisa had blonde hair in the movie instead of dark hair. In addition, Lisa was more of a main character in the movie than in the book. Also, Anjelina Jolie did an unbelievable job of portraying Lisa. I don't think that there was an actress that could have done it better. I just hope to God that she gets an Oscar.

I saw the movie when it came out, and I loved it. I was at the airport yesterday, when I saw the book at a news shop, and I decided to buy it. I read the entire thing on my way home, and I loved it. It really makes you think about the sanity of everyone, including yourself! Dealing with depression, I related to the book in many ways. However, I think that this book could relate to everyone! Its a great story, and the fact that its a true story makes it even better!
