I absolutely loved this movie! For the most part, it stayed true to the book. Since I was the only 1 in 4 who had read the book, I needed to clarify a few things to the others in my party, but they enjoyed the movie alot. I can't wait to see the other books made into movies. I will defineately buy this when it comes out on DVD and watch it over and over. And the soundtrack is incredible. I loved seeing how each song worked with the scene in the movie. I would recommend reading the book before you go. I can't remember if I breathed once through the movie...I was entranced!
