I just saw the movie today and I liked it. It wasn't terrible and it succeeded my expectations. I felt that the essence of the story wasn't lost and I really like that although they left out some things I'm happy. It could have been a disaster like the PJO movie but it wasn't. The casting choice for Pet was good in my opinion Emily Browning has that fragile look about her just like Pet. In my opinion the movie is just what I hope for when a book is being adapted to screen. I always like to keep an open mind about books being turned into movies. I respect everybody's opinion as well :)
It was great! but I find some points lacking but they cannot really explain the whole context by just less than two hours. Still, I wished some of my fave quotes are included and also some are not given importance but is very important in the story, for me any way. :)(view spoiler) And so much more.
I saw the movie at the premiere and I loved it! I hadn't read the full book (I had tried to read it several times before but I could never get past the first 50 pages) before I went and saw it, but I came home and read it right after. I fell in love with the book.The only thing that kind of annoyed me was Melanie. Saorise Ronnan is an amazing actress, but she doesn't really look like book-Melaine at all.

Is it still showing? I'm going to watch it. Big fan of Saoirse. :)
