First off, I am not reading it as fast as I can. My normal reading pace is just fast and I finished it in 8 hours. Nick Elser (also on our team) was sleeping over and after we bought it together at midnight, he finished after 5 hours, though that's not *fast* as that's his usual reading pace (crazy programmer boy reads too much). I am not about to read slower than normal or read fast and skim over details... just normal.
The movies suck and I have no clue how the studio plans on fitting everything in book 4 and 5 into a less than 3 hours long movie. The books have similarities to Roald Dahl and he was a great author. They've got a similar feeling to it when you read and everything just flies by. The language is simple yet the plot twists and characters are interesting to read.
Btw, the great thing about reading this book is that it provides closure on many things. Thus, it does not make you beg for the next book as much as the others did.
