Let's start with the book.
Great book. Loved it. I loved the scenery, the characters, the story line. It was fantastic. It kept me wanting more. At the beginning I was quite skeptical. It took me a while to finish the book because it was 500 something pages. And I wanted to finish the book around the same time the movie came out. I got the book about a month before the movie came out. And I took my time.
It is basically about witches or "casters" as they are referred to in the book. And teenagers fallin in love. Ya know? Basic love story. The teenage girl is a "caster" and the boy is a mortal. It's set in Gaitlin, South Carolina. The South!! Being a Texan I enjoy when books and movies are set in a Southern place.
Than as it proceeds battle between good and evil.. battle of being weird in high school. But.. overall I really enjoyed the book. Even though I felt as if it was kind of like every other teenage supernatural love story.
It kept me on my toes. It left me stumped at times and I felt a connection to the characters. When I finish a good book I am one of those people who are left feeling like wtf am I supposed to do kind of thing. The good news is that there is in fact more books! Do not fear it doesn't stop here!!! Bad thing is I haven't got around to getting it yet. I will try my best to get it and complete it within the next month or two. And write a review on it... :)
Movie
Moving on to this dreadful movie. If you read the book.. DO NOT go see this movie.. If you haven't read the book DO NOT go see this movie!!! It sucks. Either way you look at it, it fucking sucks. (excuse my french but it was baaad) Me and my boyfriend went to see it together. I of course had read the book. He did not. It was nothing the movie. At all. Nothing even remotely close. The only thing that was the same was the names of the characters. And yes I understand they can't make a 2 hour movie exactly like a 500 page book. But that's not what I'm asking for. I want it to be at least sorta similar. Keep the story line the same. I do not want to give any spoilers at all here so I'm not going to go into detail of how different they were. But, I am going to recommend the BOOK, NOT the movie. Wait until it comes out on redbox so you don't have to waste like $10 on the movie.
Like always I will ask you all to comment down below. Tell me what you thought of the movie or the book. I would really love to know. Tell me what other movies or books you'd like me to read and review. :)
xoxo, Madison
