Such a good book! I loved every minute of it! It's written without quotation marks but so well done that it flows smoothly and doesn't confuse the reader. I wanted to read it before seeing the movie and I am so glad to have read it first. Although having seen previews it is hard not to picture Tom Hanks as the protagonist. A unique and wonderful story!

Editing as I have now watched the movie. Wow! The book is so much better than the movie. I was quite disappointed in the movie version
