NOTHING like the book!
From the character casting to location to the ending, this movie was awful. In the book, Anna's brother Jesse is a rebel who's constantly getting into trouble. Campbell (the attorney) was a major jerk only in it to become more popular. They completely left out Anna's guardian at litem, Julia Romano (who was a major character in the book). Judge DeSalvo was a man. The book took place in Rhode Island, not LA. And the ending was completely wrong!!! In the book, Campbell has a seizure while driving Anna somewhere & they get into a bad car accident. She is put on life support while her organs are harvested. Her sister, Kate, receives a kidney from her & goes on to live another healthy 8 years. Anna dies. Jesse becomes a cop, not an artist.
Other than that, the rest of the movie is hard to follow. My husband had not read the book & couldn't understand the constant going back in time. I would not see it again. Left me feeling depressed. Good thing my ticket was only $1.00.
