Its been a while but I would have to agree with you the second was better. The firsts plot was a little slower and not quite as many shocks. Both are relativly good books although I didnt care all that much for the movie. Not the best but definatly not the worst book I have ever read.

good books, yes the second is better. However the storyline is fairly basic and stereotypical. Some parts are more unique though. I'm eagerly awaiting the third book. Empire?

I creep though shadows
I rise up at night
I live just inside you
And give you a terrible fright
I walk through the darkness
I lurk under your bed
I live in your wardrobe
I creep up in the shed.
I tiptoe through the corridor
I follow you anywhere
I rip your braveness apart
And never ever care
I am fear so don't come near..

Definitely great books. I was really looking forward to the move and was jealous that a bunch of my friends got to see it opening day, but they told me it sucked so I didn't bother going to see it. From what I hear I hope they don't make a second movie. Some one should remake the movie.

The books are really good. The movie blows and the director should be executed. Blow all the budget on the cast and and make one of the worst battles ive seen. Effects weren't bad but they just spunked all over the book...bloody morons.

Cant wait for the third book!
