I’ve heard the adaptation is not faithful in the slightest, but having not read the source material I wouldn’t know. On the one hand though, I thought this might be a blessing because the series has ignited an interest in me to read the books and if they’re greatly different then they should still read pretty fresh for me but obviously on the other hand if the series is what ignited the interest then probably what I found engaging is not the same thing I’d find in those books.
What are they like and would I still get as much out of them if I hadn’t first watched the adaptation?
Books are always better than TV
Nothing spoils books!
Except being dropped in a spa pool. Thanks Dave, you colossal jerk.
Once I was reading a book in a hot tub, only to see a spider crawling towards me immediately above the water line. I instinctively swatted it away, forgetting that I was already using the swatting hand to hold a book.
The book splashed in the water as I moved my hand, but the book in question was American Assassin. In my mind, making it unreadable was an improvement rather than spoilage.
Aha! But my ebook reader is waterproof! Checkmate, Dave! (Probably still a jerk)
God damnit Dave
