Just finished the book yesterday and loved it. Really makes you think about life and what your purpose is and How it all comes together. The biggest message I think was dare to dream and don't let anything stop you. It was amazing and insightful I'm actually surprised I even bought it. It's not my usually type of book, I go for magic, vampires, shape shifters, oh and the occasional Human-avian hybrid lol (Maximum Ride). I dunno I guess it was the preview for the movie that got me interested so I bought the book. as far as the movie goes I'd really like to see it, thank god there's something Zac Efron's in that isn't high school musical! Now I don't have to feel stupid for thinking he's hot. Yay!
