This movie was not very well done but that is saying since I have read the book.
The actors looked and acted nothing like the characters in the book, there was very poor acting in some places and there were MANY details that were left out which left the movie to feel rushed and left many gaps (spaces of the timeline) between things.
The book series was very popular and very well written but watching the movie felt like it was a low-budget, college project flim.
I still recommend watching it just to see your book come to life but do not except too much from the movie as it will dissappint you.
