I think this was one of those very rare instances where I liked the movie much better than the book. I saw the movie (with Cameron Diaz and Jordana Brewster) a few months ago and quite liked it. It's about a young girl who travels to Europe to retrace her older sister's footsteps and find out why she commited suicide in Italy. But with the book, I don't know, I just couldn't get into it. It's not that long of a book, but it seemed to take me FOREVER to read it. This was Egan's first novel and it just felt like she was trying too hard. I won't be reading any of her other books. The movie's not bad, though.
