I have just finished reading the first book. I bought the series Saturday night after watching the movie Saturday afternoon. It's really rare for me to finish a novel in 4 days. I have shorter books that I'm still reading a year after I bought them. First things first, I really liked the film. Deep in the core of the film and novels is Lena and Ethan's love for each other. It's rare to see the male's point of view in a love story like this, but here it is. The connection that he and Lena share in the novel is so strong that it passes physical plane to the mental one. I mean (Spolier) they can communicate without being in the same room in their minds. I mean, thats a pretty strong connection. Above all else, I wish they had kept that for the film. But the film does show how far Ethan will go for Lena. He breaks the Binding circle her family is performing to keep her safe. The film shows that Ethan can protect Lena like no one else. It's the power of love. Even young love like theirs, but it's still love. It's something we all search for but few find. Sorry to dump this all at once. I just became a fan of the movie and novels this week so I'm getting caught up on all the crap about the movie. And truthfully, some of it was crap. I mean, at least put Boo in it. Jeez, lol.
