The book is probably the best one I have ever read in my life. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie on the 15th and I hope its not a let down...

its a very realistic kind of movie; i.e. once you get an eye on it you wont be able to do anything else...... the story feels so real as if all the myths of dragons, elves and dwarves seem real
