I've read the first 3 books, and re-read this one just a few months ago, so i was quite familiar with it going in.

I felt there needed to be a bit more of a realistic sense of fear from the kids in the movie... it just seemed like they hardly grasped the seriousness of what they were being faced with, while i felt that was a bit more present in the book. Then just some minor technical gripes here and there. It was just a tad too clean for my tastes, but worth seeing i would say.
