This is one of the many books that is much, much better as a novel than it was as a movie. Not that I have anything against the movie, it wasn’t bad, but it missed a great deal of plot.

This is a good “introduction to fantasy” novel, and also great for anyone who is a little bit younger. It’s not as dark as fantasy can often become and contains a world that is both interesting and unique.

I know a few people who are either not particularly good readers, or don’t usually go for fantasy, who enjoyed this book.
