While I think the portrayal was a good one, the main thing that gets me about it is how different it is. Even if it was a good portrayal, it was just so different, and her personality was changed too, even if that was less. I also think that her depiction in the books was kind of revolving around the fact that it's the exact opposite of "sophisticated"--fake and blonde and very Barbie-esque. The point wasn't that she was beautiful and perfect in every way, but rather that boys instantly felt attracted. Had the plot of the movie moved at the same pace with all of the same characters, it would have ended up being important that she was like in the books, mainly with the John Breed story arc.
