If you enjoyed the book at all, or even read it then this movie will be a sever disappointment to you and everyone you know. They took the name and title of a great novel, put in in a blender, fed it to a monkey, and gave us the crap the monkey pooped out. The video effects and sound was not bad, but there were so many plot holes that even if I didn't read the book, I would not have enjoyed it. I would have accepted a few minor changes from the plot in the book, or maybe even one or two major changes. The movie I watched was not the book I read. With the exception of a character names and a few jokes nearly everything was changed.
