Not a good adaption

To be honest I didn't like the movie adaption much. I don't understand why the script writers didn't stick with the original names. Anyway, I liked the book better.

I'm disappointed as well. I remember that I really liked the book (I only read it once, years and years ago) but when I saw the movie, I didn't think it was very good. I am also not a Kellie Martin fan; I don't like her portrayal as the missing girl.

I'll take you over if you let me...

I agree. The books were WAY better, although the movie wasn't that bad. I wished they hadn't changed the names because that confused me, and I wish that they put in the part where Stephan and Jodie go to New York to try and find Hannah.

I also agree. One day I'm going to do Losing Christina (also from this author) and I will make it a better adaption. Plus I'll probably remake these movies.

And why combine books? Seriously

Yeah, really. they should have made all four movies, but I guess it was just a test run. I would have liked to see them make a sequel of the next two books.
