Can any die-hard lovers of the book tell me what they thought of the movie. I'm very reluctant to watch a movie of a book I love. I don't want the image of the movie to ruin the image in my head. Also, I didn't see a Brendan on the IMDB list, is he not existent in the movie? How different is it??
shareI seldom do the movie/book thing (watching one and reading the other); they're never the same and I end up disappointed with one of them. But I liked the books and the movie both. Characters' names were changed throughout, and there were other differences. Also, it's one movie, but based on a combination of two books: The Face On The Milk Carton and Whatever Happened to Janie?. The series continued on in a couple more books, as well. By the way, I saw the movie first; that's what lead me to read the two books. I wasn't disappointed. Hope that's a help.

I'm the same way. I usually don't like movies that were based off of books, especially if I've already read the book, but I really liked this movie. They changed some of the things around (like the surnames of both sets of parents, and maybe the location, too, I can't remember) but other than that, they made few changes, and if you like suspense, there was a lot more in the movie because of the flashbacks, the dark psycho -killer-movie like music, and the emotion from the actors. So if you like the book, I'd definitley watch the movie the next time it comes on.
sharetheir both good but imo I like the book better

The movie wasn't a very good adaptation of the books, most likely because they had to cram so much into such a short time. But then, the books could be irritating at times because there were so many inconsistencies throughout all of them. I always wondered how they got by the editors.
