The book was surprisingly good. The movie? LAME, stupid, didn't even have impressive special effects, completely lobotomized. The book is about a little girl uncovering massive secrets. She intuitively knows all but two in the first 5 minutes. I should have waled out at that point, but I'd paid ten bucks (more than the book), so I tortured myself watching it. I should have apologized to the other people in the theater for groaning at all the stupid things they did in this movie. Well, after the director / screenwriter apologizes to us for creating such a lame movie. Got to the theater in NE Atl about an hour ahead and finished off the last 70 pages or so.
