 It was good! Very different from the movie, but good. (Peter, a minor character in the book as far as how many chapters he was in, was promoted to main character in the movie with Mary.) There were things I feel like the movie did better, but that was inherent to the medium. As far as the book itself, Mary Stewart does a fantastic job with atmosphere.

Another review I felt summed up my opinions nicely:
