I'm glad the movies exist, for those who might not want to read 1100 pages at first.

If I had seen this before reading the books I would have come away with the fact that the book is 1100 pages and the wrong idea that it's about what he describes in the article. In never would have guessed that it's about the opposite from what he says. I would have thought there's no way I'm getting through 1100 pages of this trash.
