Has anybody read the book?

yeah I read it a couple of years ago. It is a good book, a little controversial but that made it all the more interesting. What do you think of it?

I saw the movie...does that count?

Count? Kinda.

I loved it! I read it in like a night, it was so good, but not in a fun way, if you know what I mean.

you read it in a night? O.O it took me a couple of days, but then again I am kind of a slow reader. By the way, the book was a lot better than the movie. I didn't mind the movie, it was decent, but it didn't really delve deep enough into the story.

never heard of it but maybe i will someday.hmmm
...............whats it about????

It's about a teenage girl whose mother goes to prison for murder. The girl becomes a foster child, and has all kinds of problems with each foster family she is sent to live with. hmm, it has a really good ending. There is more to it than that, of course, but I don't want to tell you anything else because it would probably give away too much of the plot. But I highly recommend it, you should read it sometime.

I loved the movie, so I decided to read the book, and loved the book even more.

She had such a poetic way of writing and the emotions in the book were palpable.

Oooh, what was your favorite part?

hmm, I don't know if I have a favorite part, per se, but one thing I like about the story is her relationship with her boyfriend (can't think of his name right now). They both share a love for art, and it is so beautiful how accepting they are of each other. I really like how they portrayed this in the movie too, especially that Patrick Fugit played her boyfriend, he is one of my favorite actors.

What was your favorite part?
