This was an amazing novel. I watched the movie and fell in love with it, and sought the book to get more info and just to read the original story. It was impossible for me to put this book down very long! I knew how most of the story was supposed to go and got a lot of details for these scenes, and much more. The ending was very different from the one in the film, although there are still some points in common. I cannot possibly recommend this book enough. It is a favorite and one of the most poignantly beautiful novels I have ever read.
