I am trying to stay away from gore/murder lately so I will for sure avoid those books now. I just feel like lately I haven't been reading anything that makes me feel good.

I thought the movie was good with the CGI and I was able to follow the story. I am tempted to start the series but I just don't have the time. So hopefully they will make the next movie. If they don't then I'll have to read the series.

I try to remain positive in my memory about the first, but I really disliked how things went. I don't actually plan to see the film, though, despite enjoying the first (it's great you enjoyed it more than the book- do you think, had you loved the book, you would have liked the movie more or less, though?), because none of the trailers make it look like a film I would enjoy. I am pretty pleased with the casting, though, I guess.Romi.http://wherethewritercomestowrite.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-78575079427976319422014-09-24T21:06:53.098-06:002014-09-24T21:06:53.098-06:00LOL... maybe!!
