A review by cindymajor
P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern
1.0
This was an interesting premise that was really badly executed. The story had such promise, but the storytelling was done in an inexperienced, childish way. I had seen the movie first, not knowing what the story would be about, and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end, which is why I got compelled to buy the book.
Books are usually better than movie because they allow for more details, background stories and depth with regards to the characters, what they're thinking and why they're doing the things they do, but in this instance, the movie surpassed the book, and by a long shot. Worst part is, I had read some negative reviews about this book and I thought it couldn't possibly be that bad. I wish I had listened...
I really wanted to love that book. But I finished it feeling really disappointed and it left a sour note behind. This is one of those books that you want to warn people not to read.
