Reviews seem to suggestion that this is the most faithful and well-done book to movie transition so far. This is good news as far as I'm concerned, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Edit: Lekana, I think the problem with the movies is not that they tell the story in a different way. Everyone, I think, accepts that certain changes are necessary. The problem is that the movies have an awful track record of including scenes which have turned out to be incredibly significantly to the narrative. While some may suggest this is forgivable (after all, this is the first movie made after the books have concluded as a series), I find it unacceptable given that a large portion of the fanbase had already figured out with near certainty what was going to be important down the road (turns out we were right). They've made errors that are just going to be awkward down the road when they realize they have to do strange flashback sequences just somakes sense.
