I really loved the movie and didn't know it was a book, the book was really nice and it was interesting to read things from a child's perspective.

After watching the movie, I was super excited to read the book. It definitely delivered. I didn't think the story could get any more intense or emotional but it certainly was. Hearing it play out from Jack's mind was an emotional rollercoaster and it was also so beautiful and innocent.
