I thoroughly enjoyed the book when I read it, and re-read it. (Some sites are referring to it as a "graphic novel," which it isn't - it's an illustrated novel.)
It seems to me that the movie mostly adheres to the spirit of the book.
( Here there be spoilers, slightly. )
I can certainly see why people are comparing it to "The Princess Bride." It fits a similar "bygone-era fantastic romantic comedy" niche, although it is rather less absurd. I wonder whether it will inspire passionate viewership for as long?
