That's hard to do with this particular set of books/show The Shrike Send a noteboard - 20/04/2017 04:48:07 PM

it will never be anything more than a story loosely based on the books. I try and judge things like on if they would be good if I had never read the book. I would rather have good show that played fast and loose with the books than a crappy show that tried to stay to close.

There is extremely strong emotional attachment. Unlike American Gods which looks great, but which is based off of a book that I enjoyed but only read once.
