** spoiler alert ** 
 3.5 stars - I enjoyed this more then I thought I would. It obviously wasn't on par with the original books, but I got the same familiar feeling of getting so caught up in the story that I didn't hear people talking to me, and not being able to put the book down. 
 It moved much faster then the books, so you didn't exactly have time to get as invested in the characters, but I still liked the new additions. 
 Two things I really loved: 1) The stage directions. This must be AMAZING to see in person, I'm dying to know how they pull this stuff off. 2) The views of alternate universes, they are crazy and scary and very cool.
