This movie was nothing like the book. I know movies are never as good as books but the only things that are the same is the title and names of the characters. I am such a huge fan of the book, I read it a few times and will need to read it again to scrub that movie out of my head. I wanted to love this movie but it didn't happen. For the people that haven't read the book you might like the movie a lot more. I do have to admit the visual effects were extreamely well done. Again I wanted to love it.... it falls short. :(
