Wow. That trailer was amazing, hooked me in instantly. I've never heard of this before, i'll definitely give the book a read sometime soon.

Watched the movie. It was very good. Also there is a scene that all Emma Watson fans will love!

I assume you mean her Rocky Horror appearance? .

I actually liked the movie more than the book (then again, I was never that big a fan of the book). The core casting was quite good (especially Ezra Miller as Patrick), even some of the casting 'surprises' were well done (Mae Whitman as Mary Elizabeth, Paul Rudd as Mr. Anderson and Nina Dobrev as Candace). Overall, though, the story is a little too cliche and I was never a fan of the big reveal at the end. Also, how can none of these kids know David Bowie yet they know the Smiths, Rocky Horror, Sonic Youth, XTC, New Order and a few others? Still, it was better than I thought it was going to be 81/100.

I agree. I have not read the book, so i probably enjoyed the movie more. I like movies where I can connect with the character/s and feel with/for them. I loved the ending btv, and enjoyed there tunnel song while driving.

I liked the book more

Actually, i liked the book so much i immediately watched the movie straight after. Needless to say, that was not a good decision. On top of the usual, the book is always better complaints, i felt like it took the easy way out far too many times. It already cut out so many subplots from the book, but at least finish the ones you introduce...
Like the whole his sister's boyfriend hitting her thing. "Oh, and my sister finally broke up with her boyfriend." Just a one liner for that...ok
"Oh, and that girl i'm in love with? Turns out her boyfriend was cheating on her all this time!" Seriously, another one liner for that?
