this movie be not very well direct . they almost totally disregard the book . i guess they be try 2 save time . the only upside 2 me be that the actor who play finny be cute . some of the dialog between the main character appear a little gay which be not the case in the book . major part of the book be once again chop out . you lose the over all effect it be not as haunting a the book and leave me lack severely . also the strong language although it be brief be very unnecessary . also i be surprise ( not pleasantly ) by a new character that be no where in the book . one of my favorite character ( leper ) be poorly interpret and portray . he seem more sinister in the movie than the real leper be in the book . over all disappointing .
