This is the first Hornby book I've read and the second film adaptation of his books I've watched (my first was A Long Way Down and while brilliant, never pushed me to read the book counterpart). Apparently, Juliet, Naked is one of his 'meh' ones so I am very intrigued to read his 'better' ones.

The film is what got me interested in the book and after reading, I prefer the film. I knew the endings were going to be different and I wanted the book ending to show more than the film did, what I got was less and that made me reflect that I had gotten less of what the film had offered the whole way through.

The story is brilliant (which is why it has high marks from me) but personally, was done more justice in the film than on page.
