I picked up this book and went in blind knowing nothing about whats it about…So i started reading “Handmaids tale “ last week and was loving the book … finished half a book in 3 days or so ( woth work and other things)… howeve curiosity got the best of me and i looked up its name and the show came up… i avoided it for sometime but then i watched an episode… i hated how everything seemed wrong ( from how i had imagined)… now i cant read this book that i really really loved…
Just the opposite - two examples (“The Expanse” and “Silo”) where I found the books, and read them eagerly. Both turned out to be better than the show (although The Expanse was a very good show).
My co-worker who hasn’t read Wool likes Silo. I’m curious to watch but not about to pay for Apple TV just for one show.
Target has 3 months free Apple tv. So does Best Buy. No other purchases needed.
Yes if the ending is spoiled. Non fiction I’ll certainly finish the book, as there is much more info contained within it.
Yes! Halfway through the Outlander books and TV shows the plot shifted so much that I couldn’t keep track of both at the same time. There were minor differences for a while, but I could handle them until a certain point.
There’s no wrong. The book and the show exist separately. Your imagination and the director’s imagination can’t be the same. It’s just an interpretation of the book.
