However, if you do get around to reading the book after seeing the film, you'll have a big laugh then. I'd recommend the book over the movie every time.

I was thinking how that sometimes happens with the second in a series, especially when the first has done all the work of setting up scenes and characters. Sometimes when all it has to do is carry on, a follow-on story needs to make sure it has enough to carry on with.<br />Have you seen the movie? It's only come out this last week down here, and we hated all the changes to the plot they made.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-68645492058769379272016-10-10T14:05:42.442+11:002016-10-10T14:05:42.442+11:00Great review!

If you continue the series, the second is meh...typical second in a series...and the third I thought the funniest, in a Monty Python kind of way. :) The concept of using photos is fantastic, although I'm not sure how well it translated to the audiobook and even graphic novel versions.jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.com
