I just recently finished all twelve books in the Cirque du Freak series and loved them. I think he is a wonderful writer and wonderful story teller. My only quip with the entire series was the ending. I do not know if I am the only one, but this tends to happen with me a lot. I fall in love with a series and cannot wait to read the next installment, and when you get to the last book everything about the series has been fantastic so you are ready for this epic ending, and flap. It was a decent ending. The writing was fine and even the story was well rounded and the ending was complete and nice, it was just simply not what I was expecting. It was not bad or good; I would just have liked something else. I guess I will just have to get over that. I loved them and I cannot wait to tell my friends to go out and read them with their kids.
The movie on the other hand was crap. That is really the only way I can say that and not completely insult the people involved in the movie. All the actors were great and I was so pumped to see it; my mom owned it and I came over to watch it with her. Come to find they stuffed parts of all twelve books into one movie and the parts they put in were wrong and not at all what the book was about. I do not recommend seeing it. I hate writing a bad review. I'm usually the "glass is half full" person. This movie just let me down so bad that the only thing good about it was that the actors did a good job acting. I just wished the writers and directors would have actually stuck to the story. We are talking Happy Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban messed up. If you like the movie I am so happy for you. It is just not the story in the books. But I always have the books to go back to when I want to get the real story and I will most likely watch it again once my husband is done reading them. Maybe I will have a different view the second time. I hope so.
I wish everyone a wonderful week!!
