So, I read the book a few months ago, in advance of a screening that was meant to happen outside of Seattle.
Although I really liked the picture the story painted and my heart strings were tugged by the compassionate nature of the lead, I had issues with the plot - namely, why in the hale do Jacob and Marlena actually fall for each other?
It's just sort of assumed of the principle characters take that leap from "hi, nice to meet you" to "let's start a new life together".

We're getting so much closer every day! Yesterday brought an interview with Rob on Ryan Seacrest to promote the movie. Then a tv spot debuted during American Idol last night and the new trailer! That's a lost of wonderfulness for one day!

I cannot wait for this movie! This is one of my favorite books/authors and I cannot wait to see it brought to life. Add to that the fact that it stars Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz and Hal Holbrook and I'm done for!
