Wow. Being an avid book reader, I'm always skeptical about watching the
words of my favorite books transformed and materialized on the big
screen... but TFIOS stayed true to the book. The movie was absolutely
lovely from beginning to end. The young actors were great. The comedy
hit on all the right notes, the romance made your heart smile and the
tragedy pulled at your heart strings. It really was a wonderful
adaptation, and I believe it stayed as true to the book as possible
without many changes where there were any. The minute it was over, I
wanted to watch it again. Upon leaving the theater, I looked around and
there was not one dry eye. Not even the men. If you are a big fan of
the book, like myself... and are skeptical about whether this stays
true. Don't be. Kudos the John Green on his first film adaptation. It
was an absolute success. I'd give it a 10 out of 10 if I could... but I
don't believe in "perfect."
