I thought the book (only read the first one) was absolutely horribly written and the movie was a huge improvement, personally. I much preferred the gaining mutual respect ending with Rachel and Eleanor, rather than the random thing with the inheritance and the relative in a coma or whatever. And I thought even the characters that were supposed to likable were deeply unlikable in the book, but in the movie they were more appealing.

Personally I liked the book a lot, but I totally agree about the movie ending for Rachel and Eleanor. Also Eleanor got to be more of a person in the movie, even if other characters were more thinly drawn due to time constraints. But there's going to be more movies!

/shrug I thought the first book was great. I do make allowances for first novels, however, and the series as a whole worked really, really well.

As for Rachel and Eleanor, I thought the whole "ha, I bet you at mah jong and now you realize I'm awesome" ending was... well, convenient for a movie, but kind of terrible as convincing plot. I thought the added story with Rachel's family was far more interesting. Re: unlikeable characters, I didn't mind because they're supposed to be unlikeable, that was the point.

I enjoyed most of the book (scanned through it, didn't read thoroughly) and didn't think it's horribly written at all, but I agree that a lot of the characters were far more unlikable. I think both fit their medium though. Books with more room to develop need more realistic characters to fill in the space to entertain, while movies as a shorter format need to make us fall in love faster so we can enjoy the outcome when the ending comes.
