I just came back from watching the movie - and having had little to low expectation of what to expect, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by just how much I loved the movie adaptation of this book. Great review - you certainly capture the essence of what makes this book such a deeply compelling and wonderful read!Tammy (The Book Fairy's Haven)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14199128133219847316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-6773617161693945102011-09-07T18:20:09.756+01:002011-09-07T18:20:09.756+01:00I've had this book forever but really want to ...I've had this book forever but really want to read it soon so I can see the movie!

Now I wish I had! I am glad to hear how much you liked this book. I will definitely be picking up a copy when I can. I don't know about the movie though. I may wait till it is on DVD. I am not a fan of Anne Hathaway's "British" accent at least as it was in Becoming Jane but maybe it has improved since then.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-51621831856402188172011-09-04T19:25:39.134+01:002011-09-04T19:25:39.134+01:00I recently read this book and didn't like it a...I recently read this book and didn't like it as much!

I'm a massive One...Hi Leanna, love your review. I'm a massive One Day fan too (I think everyone can relate to 'the friend who could have easily be something more if it wasn't for x, y, z and life getting in the way thing!'. I went to see the film a couple of weeks back, and it sticks really closely to the text, which is good. But I think at the start, the year jumping is a little bit too fast and it kind of makes you think 'who ARE these people and where on earth am i!'. Whereas the book can give you a better insight into the characters, the film obviously has to take a few short cuts here and there. I'd still recommend it though! You can read my review of the film here if you're interested, http://proseandconsbookclub.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/one-day-hits-the-big-screen-but-is-the-film-any-good/<br /><br /> I would love to hear your thoughts! xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-71585721489619839122011-09-03T15:54:17.578+01:002011-09-03T15:54:17.578+01:00I love this book so much!

I'm so glad you reviewed it and enjoyed it--now I will have to get a copy. I love the premise of One Day and you'll have to tell me if the movie is good. Anne's accent, although I only heard it for a few minutes during the movie trailer, it sounded a bit weird to me--you'll have to tell me if she does a good job w/ it.
