Reviews

The book was a million times more (not better; apples and oranges) than the movie. I don't think it's fair to expect 1.5 hours to do it justice. I can't give an unbiased review if the movie after reading the book so the movie was decent but the depth and development in the book deserves a mini series. Without the buildup, background, and character development some of the story seems incomplete and really paints a better picture of surviving/victimhood. I worry that it became more of a message than a quality story. That being said, the casting for Ani and Luke (especially) was great! I think it's a movie worth watching if you haven't read the book.

I don't have much to say, just that this show is a horrible representation of the teenage years. It is WAY TO CHEESY and I know the father's a priest but come on! The acting isn't the best, most of the actors lack emotion and seem way to unrealistic. The story lines also need some; a lot of change.
