  2. What happen to John's mother? Have you seen the movie? Is the movie and story mostly the same or are the differences that make a big difference?

  7. Have you seen the movie? Do you think the book is going to be the same as the move it seems like it is so far. If this book is like the movie then its going to be a good story because the movie is really good its a tear jerker but its good.
