Great hearing your coverage of the week’s feedback, and thank you for your additional comments on Game of Thrones.
You mentioned the Walking Dead, on AMC. I’m very excited to see the second season, I really enjoyed how the first season was presented, which did track very closely with the first Walking Dead graphic novel; albeit with some changes. It wasn’t perfectly faithful, but neither was it dramatically unfaithful. The show seems to be charting along the same general course as the comic series.
If I can provide some details on if the series should be read, I own several of the graphic novels, but only had a chance to read the first one. After my wife read the first one, she commandeered the rest since she had to keep reading them.
My wife is not necessarily a fan of zombie or horror stories, but she loves really good stories and is eager for the second season to start up. I’ve decided not to read ahead of the show, so she and I can watch the new season with her having the expectations from the graphic novels, and me not having any real idea what might be coming next.
Turning back to Game of Thrones, I actually had the first book, unread, for about a decade. It was one of those books that was highly recommended by friends, I picked it up in an airport, but didn’t get a chance to get far into it. Over the years, I had picked it up, put it down, picked it up and started to re-read because I had lost track of all the characters, put it down, then in a frenzy, read the entire book. I suggested that my wife read it as I started in on the second book, Clash of Kings.
My wife is not really a fantasy novel reader, but she tore through Game of Thrones in record time, and would stay up at night reading Clash of Kings while I was asleep.
For weeks (it takes me awhile to get through books) I had to get through her saying to me “what part of you up to? Oh, just you wait… things get crazy. Read faster!”
For A Dance with Dragons (book 5) we ended up getting a hardcopy for me, and a version for her for her kindle.
She finished it a week before I did. A week of “what part of you up to? Oh, just you wait… things get crazy. Read faster!”
Best regards to you both.
