I was really let down by this book. Definitely my least favorite of the entire series. The story dragged a lot and, while interspersed by action packed scenes, the majority of the book was so boring. About half way through I could see the ending (since I'd seen the movies I knew kind of what to expect) and couldn't figure out how there was still so much left since it was close to wrapping up the main adventure. So this was a solid "ok" book for me. Mostly boring but the exciting parts are really fun and enjoyable. I just wish this book had been a little more condensed and focus more on the action. The movie is definitely better, in my opinion.
