Something came up and I wanted to watch the movie once again, hadn't in YEARS, but then decided to read the book first. I had never done so before so I was eager to get into it. What I like about the book is how they make it feel whimsical in a way. Kind of like you are on a high and want to spin around with the fairies. It was very much like a modern retelling of a Shakespeare play. I also like when the story finally got around to the sisters. The whole book could have been a bit shorter if the author did spend time on a lot of nonsense. I know it was being told from one of the guys POV and all of that but like... it dragged. But it was poetic in a way. Though... maybe not from... a teenage boy POV.I get parenting is hard, but if you are so far stuck up your ass where you can't see where you are hurting your kids... well YOU are a problem. Did I like the movie or book better? Eeehh I think I like them in their own way. The movie was straight to the point more so than the book.Also Trip is a dick. A good punch to the throat could make me feel a bit better.
