Title: manipulative junk
Product review: I know this is an online book review but I thought maybe those of you who read the book might like to hear an opinion on the movie also. I love a good romance especially when I can share it with my wife, but manipulative "hollywood" trash like this just makes me angry. If you can't move your audience emotionally with good writing (script or novel) without killing off one of the main characters just for the sake of a good "tear-jerking" then you have no business writing period. The movie itself was better than the book but the ending left you thinking "What was the point?" Why would anyone lead it's audience on a journey about the triumph of love and overcoming pain and sorrow of a lost loved one only to kill them in the end? Manipulative and just plain stupid.
