I actually saw this movie before I read the book and I liked the book much better but i guess thats to be expected. The movie was pretty good and I think Emma Watson and Ezra Miller were brilliant. Logan Lerman was super cute as kind of the neurotic hero but I didn't think his performance was as good at the others and after I read the book i had his character pictured complete differently. Still it was a pretty good YA movie with thankfully no vampires or paranormal stuff in it lol

I pre ordered this from Amazon as I have no patience in waiting for something I really want.
Totally worth the wait.

I don't even know how to describe my love for Perks, because I connect so much with the book. And the film put that on display for me.

The casting is phenomenal. They hit the nail on the head with this one. Perfect adaptation.
Logan Lerman is the perfect Charlie. Emma is a damn good Sam.
And Ezra Miller has never been more amazing. He was SO awesome as Patrick! :)

I cried and laughed. And remembered how I felt when I first read the book.
