my girlfriend found out about the series during the summer and read the whole series in  about a week or two.. wouldn't stop talking about it. we were at the movies one day and we saw the previews for the movie (it was still summer then) and she almost ripped my arm off from the excitement  

I hate reading.. I hate it.. yes. hate it. it's boring to me, I can't sit there for hours and just enjoy doing nothing.. that's just me. I understand though that other people like it. however, my girlfriend threw this book at my face (not literally) and made me read it.. I finished it (just the first lol) in about two weeks and I have to say that it was the best book I've read so far (out of like 5 in my entire lifetime  ) I haven't gotten around to the next and I probably won't.. the first was enough

we went to see the movie the day it came out and I have to say that I thought it was pretty close to the book. most people I know agree with me about that. I thought the movie was pretty well made but yes it could be a little better.. especially the part where the guy runs really fast because that was just so unrealistic   but what I'm saying is that you have to understand that movies just aren't the same as books and it's impossible to make a movie exactly or even 95% the same as the book.. it's just the difference in entertainment.. if you made a movie exactly like the book with everything happening when and how it did in the book, the movie would probably be pretty boring.. books can take the imagination a much further distance than movies, which is why books are always better

yep, same here.. except I'll go with my girlfriend again.. probably several times 

I think the reason you like to watch it is because the storyline is good in both the book and the movie

My Daughter read and love the books and she has seen the movie three times already!!    I think she liked it!!
