At first I thought that the movie wouldn't be that good since the books are always so much better than the movies, but I was wrong. The movie is just as good as the book. I went with a friend to see the movie and she hadn't ever read the book and I had to explain a couple things to her but other than that she understood everything and totally loved the movie. This movie is honestly, the best movie I have ever seen. I can't wait till they come out with the sequel.
