it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read March 30, 2009 to April 6, 2009.

How can a movie that seemed so horrible and so sad be such an amazing book when the novel and screen play were written by the same person? Shouldn't they be, i don't know.. the same? It just doesn't make sense. Anyway, this was a wonderful book. Yes, it made me cry just as much as the movie did but the book was just so much better. The book leaves you more at peace with the ending. The movie just throws the ending at you and expects you to accept it. Thankfully, my favorite movie line was in the book though it wasn't all together. Steve Martin is an amazing and very vivid author. His style is fantastic. Though his many, many cuss words (which quite shocked me considering the author) I could've lived without. All in all, this novel is a very good read. It's a very moving story that really shows you how love affects the minds of both parties.

“Only then does he realize what he has done to Mirabelle, how wanting a square inch of her and not all of her has damaged them both, and how he cannot justify his actions except that, well, it was life.”
