The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud

I almost always read the book before I see the film (my sister's keeper and the time travellers wife the current exceptions) so of course I had to read this one.

The start is really slow moving and kinda hard to read, but eventually it gets good. I could guess the storyline, but it was still one I liked, so that was okay. It just got a little weird in the middle, where Charlie and Tess get it on even though Charlie's trying to work out if Tess is dead or alive. Weird! I found myself laughing, and I get the feeling it wasn't a jokey book.

The format works well for a film script though. It'll go down well in cinema's, promise.
