…I always feel so nervous with stories that I’ve loved the book and then know that they’re going to be adapted into the screen…it’s quite devastating when so much of a story’s detail and its heart is lost in the adaption and sometimes there are parts, which are key moments…that are completely changed to the point that it isn’t the same story anymore…I guess it’s easier now with mini-series and series adaptions because so much doesn’t have to be condensed and lost within a very small time frame…and maybe Dark Towers could be made so well now that would more mirror the written story…

I might give them a go if they're on audible

Looks like you could do with a lot more reading

I'm on to Book 2 now, I didn't love the first one I have to say but I said i'd try book 2 anyway, I much prefer this one so far. I must have misread this post originally and only thought there were 3 books. Mental how they tried to fit 7 books worth into 1 film, 3 is bad enough

Yeah the first book is slow, it’s just building up to the rest. But it is important. I thought they’d put book 1 and 2 into one film. But yeah, they squashed in all 7.

I'm reading Altered Carbon at the moment.

If you like Cyberpunk Noir fiction, then it should be up your alley.

If not then obviously avoid.
