From the moment I first read the book (first edition, read the week it came out) I have been waiting for the movie. The storyline just screamed to be made into a movie. I was not disappointed. This is a great movie! Ok, they had to summarize the book, well duh, how could they possibly have put the whole book on the screen? I have been to see it twice, once alone and once with my adult daughter (who loved it too). I can't wait to get it on blue ray disc. Great fun!
