Maybe its because I ...saw the movie first, but I thought the book was a bit scattered, as compared to the Movie. However, I liked that it gave real depth to the main characters in the book. Many characters were deleted or combined for the movie script, but I liked that it was told from the point of view of Isabell, who is every girl, and I was able to be her thru the book. I listened to the unabridged audio book, and did find it very entertaining. It made me appreciate the movie more. Blessings, Max Rainet.
