A Walk to Remember was my absolute FAVORITE until this movie. This movie is 100000000x better! After my fourth time seeing it, I was still crying in the car and when I got home. Gosh, even the commercial I saw when I got home made me tear up.

I love his books, at least the first couple, but do you ever wonder if the movies sort of ruin the books? I don't know. The only movie I watched based on one of his books was "Message in a Bottle", and although I think Kevin Costner is terrific, I only thought that the movie was "ok". But sometimes I'm disappointed about a movie's depiction of a great book.
I think they did a fairly good job with this one. Like A Walk to Remember, they changed the story a little bit but I thought both were brilliantly done.
