PeteMork wrote:the book did absolutely nothing to mar the integrity and depth of the film. To me, the film was the perfect condensation of the book. If anything, the book enhanced the film for me and safely answered many of the questions the film gave rise to. Oscar’s willingness to be a bit more assertive, and Eli’s more evident sense of humor and worldliness in the book, merely made their characters more interesting and real to me. The pure love aspects of the film were left entirely intact and unspoiled. To me, the book and the film are in inseparable pair! I have two, dog-eared versions of the book.
Exactly. You hit the nail on the head.
