It was okay. If you have read all the books then I think you will be disappointed. They changed how the book opened and skipped details that were important to the story and the story line was choppy. They jumped from one story to the next without explaining things. They changed a lot of how things happened compared to the book and added things that didn't happen. The worst part is they completely delete a major battle scene and the story that continues after. I did enjoy seeing the storyline come alive on the big screeen but just wish the movies would follow the books more closely. I think that this book was big enough that they should have made it into two movies just like they are planning for the last book
