“The movie is great too”
That film was and is one of the most moving experiences of my life, especially the final scene:

I weep every time I watch it.
Thanks. In the eyes of Eternity he whom man rejected based on sight shines as the sun in His father's kingdom.

Same here. I came upon the book by accident, just cruising the aisles in the library one day. After reading about what he went through and the person he was able to become, I felt like a terrible human being. I was in my late 20s at the time and think it was instrumental in how I wanted to see myself going forward.
The movie is excellent. I expect more people know about Merrick from the movie than the book, but that’s OK. I just hope it makes them think about themselves as persons - and how they treat others.
