The movie, of course, is a cult classic and uses the main storyline and characters in this book. However, to compare the two would be a disservice to both. The book by itself without being compared to the movie is a magical experience that allows you deeply know the characters on a whole other level.

To start, I definitely see why this is a classic. The story is timeless, and the writing is wonderful. With that being said, this is just not the story for me. I have never liked stories strictly focused on romance, or stories about the trials and tribulations of socialite life- and that is exactly what this book is about. Even though I don't like these kinds of stories, this is still the best one I've ever read.
