I find sometimes if I have read the book I begin crying way to soon into the movie because I just know what is going to happen and can't get it under control. Great discussion post!

I couldn't do it at the theater, no way. It was such a favorite book but seeing it is different than reading it. I bought the DVD when it came out and even recorded it on my DVr when it was on a couple months ago. Still haven't watched it. lol I was the same with Me Before You but finally watched it a few months ago. I haven't read All the Bright Places yet. I want to and probably will before the movie but I'm sure I'll do the same and wait on the movie a bit. lolSara @ Forever 17 Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472364638348056306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-8971626943812821972017-08-15T09:01:03.210-04:002017-08-15T09:01:03.210-04:00Ugh.

Partly because I want to dull my feelings a bit for when I do watch the movie. But also because I don't remember some of the details?Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-82149222911183838062017-08-13T04:19:34.607-04:002017-08-13T04:19:34.607-04:00I also do not watch a ton of TV and I used to go t...I also do not watch a ton of TV and I used to go to the movies with my daughter, but she has been far away for 4+ years, so I wait for cable now, but I am always on the verge of watching the movie/TV show, when it is based on a book I really liked.

Full on snot and snobs. It was so bad. I cried every time I read it and watched it. I like the trailer for ATBP but I always feel like they give away too much.
