This was not at all like the movie. I think this is actually one of the rare occurrences where the movie is better than the book. The whole story could have been summed up in about 5 pages. She just kept GOING! And then nothing really happened until around page 240, and then you had to wait another ...
After watching the movie (which I loved) and hearing good and bad reviews about this book, I had my hopes up, but I was prepared for a letdown.
