Ratings and reviews

If you've read the book, this movie will be a pretty big disappointment. They loosely follow the events of the book in the beginning before totally trailing off into a completely different story which the producers must have thought would be more appealing to the masses (ie. love story, guns, violence, etc.). I also don't understand why they changed the names of some of the characters in the book and left some as is....very odd. Overall, I was quite disappointed in watching this after reading the book.

Purpose greater than self... God given when one effects many. Beautiful when on a positive note😘

No words. Must see. I saw it for the first time at 14, have seen it 25 times since then, now 36, can't wait to see it again!
