I'm just curious, why do you want the story to be identical to a book that you already read and know the conclusion of? I suspect that would not be as fun to watch, no?Watched Episode 5 and not feeling much love for the adaptation at all.
They are ruining Solo's character from the book, constantly throwing tantrums and chucking his Teddy, when he was quite calm and collected. I can't recall at what point he revealed his name was Jimmy but at no point did he pretend to be someone else.
18 is also massively altered and "sexed up" from the books. Yes there was dissent but the prominence being given to Sims (I don't even think he was in the book) andis total invention.making him Judge
The producers and writers doing the adaptation really need to pull back to the source material IMHO, rather than rewriting much of the story.
I don't read that many books these days, but for books I have read, I like the TV/Film version to differ a bit, otherwise I will know exactly what will happen and when!
(As you can guess I did not read this trilogy and am enjoying the story a lot, as I have no book to compare/refer back to!)
