The movie was an interesting take on the original book and the character of Zzzap.I have to say that the original book was a little more difficult to get into and to get to the end of the book in a day and a half was a little more than I had time for.I have to say that the characters and the story was more than I had time for and to be honest that was the only thing that I had a hard time with and a little too much to have to go in
