Read the first one (didn't know there were more!).
It's not an adult read and won't take you very long. I read it for interest and then kept going so that I could justify starting it!! Wouldn't recommend. |

Whereas a colleague at school is going crazy for the books! Which are an easy read. We are celebrating her birthday by watching the movie tomorrow. I have not read the books.

Both my teens have seen and raved about it. I've just finished my book so I might give it a go.
I'll let you know!!!! |

Verdict from colleagues was that book is better than film. I found the film plot was obvious which might be true of the book.

I read all three of them. They are fab although the ending of the third one was disappointing. I also seen the film we were the only two people in the cinema fab! It keeps very close to the book.

I enjoyed reading them, although it was a shame to read the third one as didn't enjoy it as much. Still worth a read. I haven't watched the film yet though.

I don't want to spoil the last book for anyone though, but I'm glad you understand what I'm trying hard not to say!

Once you've read them it's hard not to understand what you are saying
