So, has anyone? I saw something about this book the other day and wondered if anyone on here has read it.

I have.

The first two were good, the third one was weird.

I don't really remember but there was some language that's worse than what I can usually handle.

It depends on which PG-13 movie you're talking about. It had a few cases of the short B word.

I saw the movie on Netflix, remembered seeing this thread, and discover no one has any information to impart.

Anyone know if the movie is worth watching?

The movie is decent even though it's totally a Frankenstein adaptation of the books. By that I mean that they yank a bit of this book and a bit of that and try to sew it all together. I honestly don't remember the books having language. They're kinda deep, philosophicalish books with a darker side, the first two being a little less weird than the third. That's the best short review I can give without going into detail.
