Cirque Du Freak

Okay So I have read the first 2 books almost done with the third, and am wondering if the guys who did the movie The Vampire's Assistant even read the books? There are a lot of parts and whole different world in the books, and could have made a whole different movie... hmmmm... They get a C+ UPDATE 05/22/10 I have read 3 4 5 6 and 7 on 8 they are okay they get a C overall, there are things that are missing plot holes and of course 8 is starting to get on my nerves... but that is okay hopefully i have the patience to finish the series, i have looked at them and they could have done the movie completely different I don't think they read the books, because there are so many things that could have been done in the movie... wonder how they do the second movie....
