I have to say that as an avid book reader I do find it hard to watch movies that come from books first. I was very dissapointed with the first movie with how it omitted major parts of the story from the movie. This made me afraid to actually purchase a ticket and risk the same dissapointment. I did go see it and I was throughly impressed with the director of this movie. He hit almost all the major parts, and the parts that were left out were simply combined with another scene.
