This is one case where I thought the movie version surpassed the novel, perhaps because I saw the movie first and it moved me so deeply. But the novel, in its wrenching account of a tragic school bus accident in a small town and the changes it wreaks in the four point-of-view characters, is enthralling, and it succeeds in really letting us inside the characters’ heads in a way the movie could not do.
