    I just started the TV series. I’m on the last audiobook currently. I sure hope the series is as good as the books.

      The last season is shortened and they skipped the final book. Other than that, it’s basically the same.

      Oh, and they changed which one of the main characters died because he was a sleaze towards the female fans.

        They didn’t skip any books, they just stopped before the final trilogy. Which makes a lot of sense.

        Tap for spoiler

        Are you referring to Draper? I hope they didn’t kill off Amos, he’s pretty big in the story.

          He’s off a bit there. They stopped the show with the end of Book 6, right before the time jump for Book 7. So they didn’t make the final 3 books into the show. There’s hints and foreshadowing for them.

          Also the books don’t directly correlate with seasons until Season 4.

          • Book 1: Season 1 and first half of Season 2
          • Book 2: Second half of Season 2 and first half of Season 3
          • Book 3: Shortened and only the second half of Season 3.
          • Book 4: Season 4
          • Book 5: Season 5
          • Book 6: Season 6 (but only 6 long episodes)

      Yeah it’s great. A little different like most adaptations but the writers of the books are on set EPs and directed a couple of episodes.

      I’m the opposite; I’ve seen the show a few times, but just started Leviathan Wakes. I’m liking it so far.

      It’s not bad but I remember it getting worse over time before I eventually dropped it. If you read the books you might stick around, but I didn’t.
