A rare case in which the movie was actually better than the book!I liked the book, but I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, so all the deviations in the movie really didn't bother me. The movie was true to the spirit of the book, and all the condensing made for a well-paced movie.
I was pleasantly surprised that the character of Dustfinger was much more appealing than he was in the book. The Black Jackets were a bit over-the-top - even considering that I expected them to be over-the-top - but their campiness made the movie more suitable for kids anyway. Capricorn reminded me of the Sheriff in the BBC series Robin Hood.
I actually much preferred the movie's ending over the book's ending. The book is the first of a trilogy, and even though I haven't read the second or third books yet, the finality of the movie's ending makes it seem like there are no plans to make movie versions of books two and three.
