I've seen the movie....and I loved it. Even I'm very excited for this book!!

I don't have the copy. I searched on the net and found a site which has the ebook/pdf file or whatever....anyway, I gonna read it from there.

[Sandeep]

[A, Crazy.]

Here's the link - http://www.bestfree-book.com/Mystery_...

I just hope it's the whole book. Sometimes in some sites....they have only half the book, and it creates a problem. Anyway, it looks like the whole book is there....

[Sandeep]

[Misha]

[Jessica]

Read it a while back this year and completely fell in love with it! I didn't see the movie til after I completed the book and I have to say I was disappointed. Usually I can appreciate the two works as a separate but not in this case. I thought the movie was awful and murdered the bonds between the characters in the book. But hey, to each their own. Happy readings!

[A, Crazy.]

@Jessica

Thanks for the info.!! I'm sure we'll enjoy reading the book. I saw the movie and loved it (well part of that was coz Bradley Cooper:)) but if you say that the book is better than the movie.....then I;m sure lookin forward to reading it!

[Misha]

Haha LOLZ!! :D:D:

[Ritika]

Done with the book! Will try for the other one now. Again your BOTM made me read something I otherwise wouldnt.

[A, Crazy.]

Great! Did you like the book?

[Ritika]

I liked the movie more. It was a decent read, but the writing style was strictly ok. But its like if you have seen the movie, you can give this book a skip. I am starting The Great Gatsby, hopefully this one should be better than the movie.

[A, Crazy.]

Oh....ok. I guess it'll be different for everyone since in an earlier post, Jessica commented that she liked the book better. But I just hope the book isn't too bad....I loved the movie and would like it if the book were as good too.

Heard a lot about Great Gatsby! You'll sure love it:)

[Anuj]

[A, Crazy.]

Ok...well that's sad. Getting so many different opinions from everyone....!

I finished yesterday. It was an easy read. I liked the honest way the main character was written. I found myself looking at clouds with silver linings ,and wondering if I would have endured as well as the people in this book.

Glad that you liked the book:)) I'm halfway through it and find it to be quite nice!

[A, Crazy.]

Finished with the book.....!! I have to admit, I didn't like much, I was feeling the same all throughout the book. It was nice but wasn't what I was expecting:( A little disappointed....I liked the movie more, at least it had Bradley Cooper....:P:P:P

[Misha]

I luvd the buk, it was quite different compared to my other reads :-) enjoyed it :-) :-)

Me too! A Lawrence fan:)) You can try the book....a lot of people liked it, though I personally wouldn't recommend it.

[[deleted user]]

well than I'll try it but if I didn't like it than I'll blame you :P:P:P:P for letting me read it.....haha so welcome to the fan club......

[A, Crazy.]

lolz....whatever, read it at your own risk:P:P But seriously, the movie was better...

[[deleted user]]

well Yh everyone's living at their own risk :P:P

[A, Crazy.]

Yeah right....:D:D

[Gayathri]

I didn't like the book much either.. And I haven't not watched yet, but of course Cooper would have made it a lot easier to watch:-D

And I was wondering if it was due to reading it too closer to The perks of being wallflower, as they are from similar premises of psychologically ill persons.

[Chelle𓆏]

This book really was different from other books I have read and I wasn't expecting that. Absolutely thought the book was better than the movie, in my opinion.
