I just saw My sister's keeper after reading the book. While I thought the movie was good, I think it sucks that the ending was changed.

I went into the movie expecting to use an entire box of kleenex when in reality, I barely cried a bit. Does this make me cold? Maybe it does but there was so much going on in the movie that it was kind of hard to follow or show much emotion. The book did a much better job!

I thought the ending of the book made the story. I was shocked when the movie ended the way it did and that it was so different. If I would've just seen the movie and not known about the book, I think it would've been okay. However, that was not the case. 

I feel that the movie should've followed the book more closely. For those people who only see the movie, I feel it would be very predictable. Final opinion: Decent movie, if you have not read the book I think you'll love the movie. If you have read the book, I think you'll be disappointed.
