Title: Great movie, even better book
Review: I saw the movie first, and loved it. My friend insisted I read the book, claiming it was a lot better. Well, she was pretty much right. The book develops the characters a lot more, and goes into more detail about more of Astrid's foster homes. Marvel and Amelia aren't even mentioned in the movie, and the ending was different. I really liked the character of Olivia as well. She learns different things in each foster home, and her character changes so much throughout the novel. It is very well-written. The only part of the novel that is bad is that Oprah Winfrey reads in on the audio tape, and frankly, it would be really unnerving to hear her say those sorts of things. But that doesn't mean I don't recommend it. :)
