Query: In the minority...hated it

I will admit that I plan to reread this book. I first read it a couple years ago to see if it was something my kids would enjoy as a read-aloud book. It had received rave reviews so I was looking forward to it. I hated it and almost didn't finish it but did so because I kept holding out hope it would improve. It was truly dark (think WWII writings) and morbid and I found very little uplifting, humorous,etc. I read a bit to my one daughter (the most serious who has patience with most books) and she even lost interest quickly. Now I see they have made a movie of it and I was shocked! I thought what a depressing film. But I know everyone now seems to love it so I'll give it another shot and re-read it. But I guess I'd warn people to read a chapter online or in library before buying it, just to see if its what you expect in tone and style.
