I loved the books so much and was very disappointed that they didn't make it a series to finish out all of the book! I am emotionally invested in these characters and want to see Darren win! The books kept me completely engaged. And yes, books are usually a lot more involved than movies but I really enjoyed the story line being told out loud and that it followed the book as accurately as it did. I enjoyed meeting all of the characters and seeing their many talents. I also loved the the little goblins. It's never too late to complete the series in movie form you guys! I love the comedic relief and timing. It kept the movie from becoming too frightening for my son to watch. He hasn't read the books yet but we both loved the movie.
