Maybe I did myself a disservice by watching it first, but this is one of those rare occurrences where I liked the movie better. Probably doesn't hurt that author Stephen Chbosky was the director and writer. Ahh high school - sometimes the friends you make can save your life.

Also... interesting in that it's the first YA book I've read that has dealt with the consumption of hallucinogenics.
