I am a big fan of the books and loved reading them. I am very disappointed with the adaptation of the book. Since the books were so detailed I expected the same from the movie. When I watched the movie it was very choppy. If someone didn’t read the books I suspect they would have no idea what was happening. There were so many scenes that were missing from the books that included important plot aspects. I am very upset with the movie and wouldn’t recommend watching. However I do recommend reading the books.
