Hyrum, the presentation was a bit juvenile, although as I mentioned it was still quite engaging for me. I am curious if my six year old would enjoy it. It was refreshingly PG. I tire of all the garbage that movie makers feel that they need to put into movies to make them more sensational and to make up for their utter lack up creativity and reliance on technology and acts of lasciviousness.

I enjoyed the book on a very superficial level. I can't say I learned anything from it, however. There were too many contrivances. I do plan on seeing the movie eventually, so hopefully it's not quite as juvenile. At the end of the movie, do they throw a rock into a huge hole with no thought about what it might do someone's head that's at the bottom of the hole? I haven’t seen the movie.
