True, Alan Rickman rocks in just about everything I've seen him in. And
he's good here, although I spent the first half of the first movie
wondering why Trent Reznor looked so old.
However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, the first
book/movie is aimed at a young audience --
It seems to me that, while Love is a very strong theme in the book, most
of them have been about how Love (including platonic love) is that last

But would they have picked up and read the book by themselves if half
the world wasn't touting it? In other words, if it didn't make them
"cool" to read the book, would they have? This is really in reference
to children in general, not really your kids specifically.
