This was amazing, I got hooked and finished it quickly. It was tricky not to ignore my children while I read it because I longed to sit and see what happened. It was smart and entertaining the whole way through. I think I'll watch a couple of the movies to see if they were made well, though I expect to be disappointed.

On another note: Adam and I tried to watch where the Wild Things Are, and were resoundingly disappointed. We made it about 30 min in and turned it off so we didn't waist anymore time on the drivel.
