I listened to book 1 and 2 few months ago, I forgot all the scenes even the characters names but I do remember that it was a really good book. I was excited to watch it on the movie screen. I got teary eyed a few times, laughed and what surprised me was the amount of people in the cinema. I’ve never seen a movie theater with almost no vacant seat even the front raw was booked. And the “Gasps” coming from gentlemen’s crowd are music to my ears. I’m happy for Colleen. It was a good adaptation indeed. Looking forward for part 2.
