The movie has very little to do with the book. Ordinarily, I enjoy seeing books from another's point of view, but I found myself disappointed. On its own, the movie is entertaining, but as a lover of the B&C novel, I was left longing for more. The movie deviated entirely from Klause's story about self acceptance and embracing one's destiny.
