>Went to see it with my daughter Sunday night and really enjoyed it. A friend at work is bringing my the series so I can read the books. If you are on the fence as to whether to see it or not, my recommendation is to go.

I'm a little bit afraid to go. I read the books a couple hundred years ago and they (the first couple anyway) were absolutely stunning. I might go, but with trepidation. I always find it a tad difficult to separate the book and the movie regardless that they may both be excellent in thier own right.
