For anyone that has seen the movie, does it cover only the first book or all 3 books? Is the movie the same plot as the book(s)?
The movie only covers about 1/2 to 3/4 of the first book. The ending of the movie was quite abrupt, so I am betting a sequel is in the works.

I read all three books. The plot was really wearing thin by book number 3 -- just my opinion.
