How is it? I just saw the movie and I'm thinking about reading the book.

I read it. I thought it was really good. Maybe a little long, but not crazy long.

Read it, loved it, can't believe the movie can begin to compare.

Read it, liked it, and don't remember a thing about it! I just lent it to my mom and she finished it and wanted to discuss it with me, but I didn't remember any of the things she mentioned.

I'm leary of seeing the movie because I loved the book so much.

I read it back in high school and loved it. I think I reread it maybe 2-3 years ago and loved it. I even wrote my senior paper in AP English about it! I haven't seen the movie yet, but I would love to...even though I know that it won't compare to the book.

I read it. I thought it was good, but not great. I didn't like the ending. I'm interested in seeing the movie.

I finished the book. I thought it was mesmerizing.
