Rating:  Summary: A shameless tear jerker... Review: The author pulled out all the stops to make readers pull out their kleenex. The mom is exemplary, the dad is perfect, the girlfriend is so Barbie-like. (By the way, how does one "pick up an Armani habit"?) Even while up to their antics, the children are lovable. The plot is all too predictable; stereotypes and clichés abound. By comparison, the Brady Bunch seem much more real to life.
Rating:  Summary: GREATEST BOOK EVER Review: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK, I HAVE NEVER CRIED OVER ONE BOOK SO MUCH IN MY LIFE. IF YOU LIKE SENTAMENTAL STUFF YOU WILL LOVE THIS.
Rating:  Summary: Saw It five times Review: This movie was great.Ed Harris from Beaches.Susan Sarandon from Thelma and Louise Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman,Steel Magnolias,Mystic Pizza Stepmom is one of the best movies.Julia is in Sleeping With the Enemy,Dying Young.All eight of us saw this movie 5 times.
Rating:  Summary: the movie is great though the book is even better Review: Unlike my normal practice, I watched the movie before reading the book because everyone here claims that it's excellent.After reading it, I've nothing to say but the same comments as the others. It's just a pity that I didn't cry as i've already known the plot. This is a great book but it's a bit too short. Also, I can't help but think that the cancer-plot is a little silly. It would be even more interesting if none has to die while becoming friends all the same. In that way, the story would be even more true-to-life.
Rating:  Summary: I think this book was better than the movie. Review: You can feel more when reading the book. I read the book before I went to the movieand realized that some parts were left out. If you choose to read this book keep a box of tissues nearby.
