When you know it ahead of time it's ridiculously obvious, but I don't know many people who figured it out themselves the first time around.

Anyway, the movie, as a representation of the book, is extremely well done IMO. Whether you like the book/story is another question. It's a good children's introduction to fantasy perhaps, but it's not particularly engrossing for someone who's more familiar with more complex, original works of fantasy.
