I am now officially part of the obnoxious club that points out the differences between the book and the movie. In all honestly, the film adaptation is one of the few that even holds a flame in comparison to the book. I would actually recommend watching the movie first then reading the book. Hear me out, I know it's blasphemy. But, it was nice already having the characters built in my head with the characters' clear faces as Finick Odair and Daeneyrs. Their acting and chemistry was amazing. Reading the book after felt like watching an extended edition of the movie. Normally, I refuse to watch the movie beforehand because I tend to have no motivation to read the book. However, the chemistry and banter between them kept me engaged.The story was heartbreakingly wonderful. It made me contemplate my stance on a controversial issue and question, legally, how far human rights extend. I also learned a lot of new British slang.
