I committed a cardinal reading sin: I saw the movie before I read this book. To be fair, I was five--so not a lot of four-hundred page books were getting read then anyway. Nevertheless, I went into this story with as fresh a perspective as I could manage. Here is my opinion: the book is better. ...
Can I even classify this as a fantasy? Frankly, the map was unneeded and I barely gave it a glance.

I guess it never interested me enough to seek out the movie and watch the entire thing. That should have been my fi...
Despite hearing many, many people say that they didn't enjoy this book and that I should just stick to the movie, I had really high hopes for it. I was really excited when I re-joined my book club and found this was our selection for April. I am sad to say, that all the naysayers are right. This is ...
