I watched the movie before reading the book, and can honestly say the movie devastated me, it upset me for weeks and was one of the rare films that had a deep impact on my hubby, the morning after watching the film he sat the girls down and asked them what they'd do if a neighbour invited them in, thankfully they both said they wouldn't go, but he made it very clear that they mustn't go with anyone, even if they know them, and that we would always tell them if someone else was going to pick them up from school, he had nightmares about it.
But the book explained a lot more about heaven and life, i cried at the end of the book, because for me it was like saying goodbye to Susie....
