Little Manhattan: The Movie Novel

Little Manhattan is a terrific story, cute, funny, and romantic, but the book reads like the author just copied down what she saw on the movie screen; there is no added insight. In fact, the movie was narrated by the main character, so the book, written in the third person, leaves out most of that narration and lacks all the passion and charm of the film. It's still a great story, and if you loved the film (and who couldn't?) you might want this book just because it has several color pictures from the movie. But absolutely do not read the book first and judge the movie by it. Watch the movie!
