Just Like Heaven by Mark Levy

Has anyone read this book? If so, what did you think about it? I only picked it up because it has been turned into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo and will be opening mid-September.

To be honest, I've heard of the movie, but I didn't know it was a book. But I wanna read it before I see the movie. I'll check it out at the library and come back after I've read it!

I've never heard of the book or Movie. I think I will have to get the book and read it. Since it'll be a Reese movie I will most likely be seeing it

Mark Levy! I was looking at it in Chapters last night. Apparently it was first called something like "If it were only true" - something like that. I'm going to get it from the library before the movie comes out. The movie looks sweet!

I read the book before I saw the movie. Now people are asking me which is better and I don't know how to respond. They are so completley different. I honestly can't decide. I don't want to give anything away but I like how the ending of the movie went beyond the ending of the book.

I read the book and I'm dying to see the movie. It was good in a way but some of the things in it were a bit too.... fluffy. I feel the movie will be much better but it was the idea that was novel. It was just weird. It was a french book so it's not something you'd expect to be published like it was here.

I didn't realize it's a French novel. Interesting.

I wrote a little review of my experience with the book here. I read the book after I saw the movie and I actually liked the movie better. I think the relationship between the characters develops too quickly in the book and is less believable. YMMV
