Everything, Everything: See the Movie and Read the Book #Giveaway

I (Jennifer) love reading books with my daughter, and this is the first one that we’ve read together in a couple of years. I had purchased Everything, Everything on my Kindle, and then when she was coming home for Spring break, she saw it on our account and read it all on the plane. I did not know that there was a movie coming out about this girl who has been watching the world go by from the inside — but she did, which is what drew her to it.

I’m sure we will go and see it together as well, where we can compare which parts were better in the book versus the movie. Even though I’m the editor of 5 Minutes for Books, I’m not a total hardcore “books are always better” person. I’ve talked to enough authors who have had their novels made into movies, that I totally understand that they are different mediums and while a book has a lot more time to develop a lot more, there is something about the film experience, complete with score and scenic shots that I almost always enjoy. If you are a book person, check out my review of the Everything, Everything book over at 5 Minutes for Books.

I am proud to be working with Warner Bros. Pictures on this sponsored giveaway.

About the Movie

On May 19, risk everything…for love. #EverythingEverything

What if you couldn’t touch anything in the outside world? Never breathe in the fresh air, feel the sun warm your face…or kiss the boy next door? Everything, Everything tells the unlikely love story of Maddy, a smart, curious and imaginative 18-year-old who due to an illness cannot leave the protection of the hermetically sealed environment within her house, and Olly, the boy next door who won’t let that stop them.

Maddy is desperate to experience the much more stimulating outside world, and the promise of her first romance. Gazing through windows and talking only through texts, she and Olly form a deep bond that leads them to risk everything to be together…even if it means losing everything.

  4. Would love to read it first but my kids don’t give me much free time to read lol so I’ll probably see the movie

  15. I am not sure. The book is almost always better than the movie. I think I might see the movie first, so I don’t get mad at what is missing from the book.

    Reply

  16. I would see the movie first because books are usually better. I want to enjoy the film adaptation for what it is without expectations from the book.

  31. I will see the movie first and then read the book to see how closely they follow each other.

    Reply

  32. I’d prefer to read the book first, then see the movie. Books are usually better, and include more details. I’ve always felt that reading a book after seeing the movie is sort of redundant. This looks like a story I’d really like.

    Reply

  41. I am a reader, but if I read the book first the movie will probably irritate me with all the changes they do. I haven’t decided yet.

  42. I WOULD LIKE TO READ THE BOOK FIRST BUT I WILL PROBABLY END UP SEEING THE MOVIE FIRST 🙂

  57. Thank you for the giveaway. I rarely read books, but this one sounds very interesting. I’d like to read it before watching the movie. I want to add a couple books to my kindle app before my trip. It would be nice to have something to do while on the flight.

  140. I always like to read the book first so I can imagine my own characters. Oftentimes movies leave out critical details or change things to condense the book.

    Reply

  150. I would like to read the book first. But if I don’t get ahold of the book, I’ll see the movie first.

  212. I will see the movie first. Then read the book. I read The Help first and it ruined the movie for me! LOL

    Reply

  214. I’m not sure if I’ll read the book or watch the movie first, after seeing the trailer I don’t know if I want to wait til I get the chance to read it.

    Reply

  217. I’m going to see the movie first. The book is always better so I tend to enjoy the movie more if I don’t know what’s been left out. And the book seems good as well because you are finding out new things!

    Reply

  224. i always like to read the book first but this time the movie will be first then the book seems the movie sometimes ruins the book!

    Reply

  288. I would try to read the book first, but if, like always, I’m unable to finish it before the movie is going to leave the theaters, I’d cave and go see the movie.

    Reply
