I lovelovelove the books. The movie did not do it's justice to the books. But it was a good movie if i had not read the books. It is it's own thing, it's apart from the book. Still, the books were way better than the movie, like always. Actually, I'm about to go see the movie it again on Friday with my friend for the third time. It's good of course but not as great as the books. I would recommend it to someone who has not read the books. If they have read it then i wouldn't because they would be disappointed.
