awful and just awful . my old room mate use to watch this junk and it drive me crazy . the book be one of my favorite and it a shame that some people will never know what it be really like because their first impression be from dribble like this . they change so much it be hardly recognisable . which baffle me since the book read like a soap opera anyway and provide enough fodder for modern day entertainment . it like one of those lifetime movie that say base on a true story but be completely fictional . there be none of the emotion or depth of the book and just mindless melodrama . if you be a high school student look for a way to get out of reading and i suggest you try another version .
