^ I still don't understand why they had to change the title of the book for American audiences.

Anyway I just read this...

I thought it was going to be some pissy chick lit but it was actually really, really good. It's up there with some of my favourite books of all time, and it will take a lot to knock it off. It really affected me in a kinda profound way for some reason.

The movie was terrible, though.

Because publishers here think the American public are idiots. I believe it's not just the title they changed but also certain words (i.e. replacing "torch" with "flashlight"). It's pretty silly.
