I can't speak for others, but I hate the book too....even though I found it very well-written and super engaging. I recognize how good it is, but my son was about one or two when the book came out. It's a real gut-punch. I haven't seen the movie. No need to double up on this misery...

I quite enjoyed both the book and the film.  Dark and depressing to be sure, but captivating throughout.

The book is one of my favourites read it a few years ago and it’s honestly got to be up there in my top books I’ve ever read.

The film on the other hand I just can’t get into, I should love it. I mean I love the story, I love Viggo and I really love post-apocalypse themes and stories but for some reason I can never got more than 20-30mins into the film without turning it off and I don’t really know why.

Excellent job on the miniatures -- so true to the book. Anyone know if these figures are still available, and if so, where?
