i get all excite when i saw the ad for this movie because i recently read the book and really enjoy it . the movie and however and do not meet my expectation . have read the book recently prepare me for big let down as often happen when story be translate into movie . the character do not seem to fit very well with the book . the direction be weak . i have a hard time get into the character . there wasn not a real connection with the viewer about what be go on . the dialog do not explain adequately what be happen . it just seem slapped together and rush through . all in all i be very disappointed with the movie . i suppose if you haven not read the book and it might be ok by itself . at the very least and it might entice you to read the book and which you will probably enjoy more .
