I saw this movie with my friend several months ago and I was IN LOVE. I made it my priority, and I mean my priority, to read the book. So, I stole my mom's IPad (okay, okay- I didn't steal it; I just sat at the kitchen table and read it and, lucky for me, out internet was down do to construction and, so, my mom had no problems with me reading as she would any other day we were both off from work) and read it. My first though was WOW!!! And not in a good way.
I will say this, I am an atheist, have been since I was 10 years old (I know, I know quite young to fade from the path but I was going through a hard time and "god" was not with me and I really needed "god" to be; it was myself and my friends and family who helped me through not an all-knowing being up above.) so this may come up basis. I felt like Kim, the narrator, was shoving his fate down my throat. I swear not a page went by where "god" wasn't mentioned. God give me strength, god performed a miracle and while I think it's a moving story- I felt tears prickling at the back of my eyes several times, though it was ruined when "god" had a helping hand- however I can't help but think of all the people "god" hasn't helped. Like Avery, the little girl who recently passed for SMA type 1; why save a grown woman but give a small child a disease and little to no chance to live?
I give it a 2 of 5 stars.
