I enjoyed this novel very much.

I had seen the movie, and I liked it quite a bit, but the novel was so much better. It was so much better, in fact, that after reading it, I'm not even sure I still like the movie.

The movie turned this story into a humorous, silly, and fun love story, but the novel? The novel was so much more than that. It was a love story, yes. And it had some humorous parts, yes. But there was a much deeper, serious tone to this novel that was simply absent from the movie. There was so much more going on here. So much more depth.

This novel questioned the very essence of what it is to be a human, to have a soul, to be ALIVE. We are more than meat and flesh and breath and bones. Wow.

I just really loved this novel. You know, I initially rated it four stars because I usually reserve five stars for things like George R.R. Martin and Neil Gaiman, but upon reflection, I'm going to change that rating. Because I truly did love this book.
