I agree about the fat (pretty much the whole of book 2), but I still loved the books and thought it a wonderful series. The characters were rich and very well developed, the story filled with questions and great twists (that all get answered), and there were certain sections of pure brilliance. But yeah, it could be cut down to half the length and still do quite well, I think. As for the game, I guess it's nice, but I've been praying (to FSM) for them to come out with a movie since I first read it. I guess that won't be happening any time soon.
