Yep Netflix
Book
Read book first! It helps fill in the gaps of movie!
I don’t like to “expect” anything….that’s why I asked
Book then movie ?
Read the book!
I tried very hard to enjoy the book, and I seldom give up on a book. Sadly, I just could not finish it. However, I watched the movie and liked it a lot. Very strange, as usually the opposite is true for me.
That’s interesting. I disliked it so much I wrote off the film. Maybe I’ll give it a go then. X
Book
The Book!

I really couldn’t get into the book….think I will watch the film!

I would read the book 1st. The movie is pretty good but not as good as the book.

Book first, then movie
Can’t find it on Netflix
It’s there
@Emmylou found it it’s on Amazon Prime really enjoyed it cried at the end ?
Read the book
I always try to read the book first. However, now that I’m reading a lot more than I have in the past, I’m realizing that there’s a lot more books that were made into movies so now I’m back tracking but I’d recommend reading the book(s) first
I’d say read the book first 🙂
I watched the movie whilst in the middle of reading the book, I loved both and felt compelled to “update” my husband and daughter on things that were left out of the movie. Not huge plot twists but “so and so get married!”.
Read it first
Book!
Book. Then for get the movie.
Book!!!
read the book,read…read..https://amzn.to/2NSUuwu
@Kristi you gotta read the book so we can see the movie!!!
Book
Read the book first. That way you can make fun of the movie when you watch it.
Read the book first then if it depresses you like it did me you won’t lose 2 hours of your life watching the movie ?…….although you’ll lose more hours of your life reading the book…..
matter of opinion
I think reading the book was time very well spent, in my opinion ?
I agree. Hence the word “if”. Lots of people like it. It escapes me as to why though. Well actually I have a good idea but a discussion wouldn’t be suitable for this page!
Always book first.
Read the book .. film good too but book gives it context
Book
Read the book. It will be different to the movie because not only do they change the book but more than that you’ll have your imagination while reading
Don’t bother. See mamma Mia 2 instead
You didn’t like the book or the movie ?
Book. Wouldn’t bother with the film after that
Book

Books are normally always better first.
I read it and loved it!!
I read the book first loved it & also the movie.
Book
I watched the movie. Haven’t read the book because when i checked it out it became due at the library before I even started it so had to get back in the queue.
Book
is it good?
I disagree. A lot more than 30% dislike it. It’s just not many are comfortable going against the grain.
I’d read the book first
always read the book first.
I personally only ever do one or the other and if I know it’s a film I tend to not bother reading it xx
Always read book first.
Book first!
Book first.
Book def

Spolier: Shame I’m not in your book club. I read it. All of it. It was depressing although I liked Ove he’d had such a miserable life. Then the neighbours were annoying. More than annoying. They forced themselves on and inconvenienced him and apparently that’s heartwarming. Not to me it isn’t lol
