I just read the second half of the book in about 3 hours. And I'm a very slow reader. It's not a hard read, if you're quick enough to get the jokes the first time; but you'll have to keep re-reading it to get all of the jokes.
Anyway, I saw the movie on opening day and loved it. I know people have been complaining that it didn't follow the books, but that's fine. The TV series didn't follow the books. The radio show didn't follow the books. The movie was never intended to "follow the books," it was intended to be yet another iteration of the same basic story (same characters, same basic plot, many of the same locations).
Your wisemen don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick...
