Although I've never read the book, I do know the storyline, and I can understand why someone who has read the book would hate the movie. He doesn't have a son with Mercedes in the book and doesn't reunite with his lost love in the book. The last part being one of the points of the book -- i.e. bad stuff happens to you and you need to learn to accept it and move on. With all of that being said, I have to say I like Jim Caviezel and I liked the movie.
