Two Thumbs Up.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Jodi Picoult's books never failed to keep me interested, keep me wanting to know about what will happen next. I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning just to finish up reading her book.
And when her bestseller's is made into a movie, I made it a point for me to go and watch it. Alas, I made it; after pestering my dearest sister to watch it with me although she had watched it before.
Two thumbs up for the movie. Tears rolled down like it would never end. The story touched my heart as it taught me about how loving somebody can make you do things that you had never imagined doing. Loving somebody can make you do things; absurd things just to make your loved one happy. Loving somebody can make you do a lot of things that you thought was in his best interests, even if - at the time - it looked utterly wrong to others. To love somebody is to sacrifice and to love somebody is to cherish them.
I shall not compare the book with the movie because it's not a fair comparison but the movie had done justice to the book; in my opinion.
My suggestion to all, do read the book. I - personally - spent all night crying while reading the book. A lot of values and life lessons can be taken from the story; both the book and the movie.
Wassalam.
