I was literally shaking after watching it for the first time. It was not what I was expecting, but you're right. It's good in a sad sort of way. I haven't been able to bring myself to read the book yet.

I watched this movie and wasn't overly impressed. It was very slow until the end. I think I would have enjoyed the book better, but oh well. This author has written other books I enjoyed tremendously.

I definitely want to read the book. The movie has always been on my list, for years, but I can't bring myself to watch it.

The book and the movie bother broke my heart, but the book was absolutely gutting. The author does an excellent job making it very clear we're seeing everything from the perspective of a young child. The movie doesn't completely show that but oh god, the book does. It's so so sad.

I haven't read the book but I have watched the movie and went into it sort of blindly. I was enjoying every moment of it until the end. The ending was really sad and it threw me off guard. It was a very good movie though and I must have watched it at least three times already.

I have been avoiding both the book and the film because I just know I would be a blubbering mess. Holocaust stories always stay with me long after witnessing them.

Gosh I remember reading this book in the 8th grade! I absolutely loved it! I also remember after my 8th-grade class read the book, my teacher decided to show us the movie and everyone cried. Some of us had to excuse ourselves and If I remember correctly someone started passing around a tissue box haha!

I cried for hours after watching the ending. But, it shows the reality of the darkest chapter in human history.

I read the book while pregnant and hormonal so I refuse to watch the film ever!

I found the book very moving, especially the ending. I have seen the movie, so close to the book, however it was impossible to capture the ending as the book was written.

I haven't seen the whole movie, but we watched the ending when we were reading another book about the Holocaust, The Book Thief, in my English class. It had such a strong impact. I've always wanted to read the book ever since.

The ending shows the dark but truthful chapters of history. A blossom of friendship, and reality.
Overall the both movies and books can bring out your emotions. I would recommend the book.

whoah, I just clicked on this post thinking it was about a children's book or movie, did not expect such intensity. I'll check it out later today.
