I completely agree with Sally Gee in her post. I have read all books five times and I felt for the most part 311 was like a soap opera. It was so disappointing and made me sad. This show has been spectacular in so many ways. The writing, scenery, costumes, filming, and of course Sam and Caite. There would not be the following without all these wonderful people. Is everyone exhausted with the pace of the show?
Being used to the books I know you could not have put all the details and characters in the TV show as it would be impossible. I miss them. Or maybe I miss the conversations between the main characters. I will always be loyal to the show as there is nothing else like it to watch. I cannot wait till they get to the Ridge. Maybe without all their travels things will
settle down.

I definitely will check them out.

However I do agree with you that no movie or show can do an exact adaption of a book. It just that the medium is so different.

Therefore personally I prefer to enjoy the show first (without having expectations) and later I can check the source material.

You’re welcome ;)

Like I’ve said I’ve read the books more than once and enjoy the show very much too. I love them both and hope we get more seasons

I’ve read the books too more than once. No movie or show can do an adaption exactly like the book. I think in my opinion they do a great job of portraying Claire and Jamie. You might want to try them and form your opinion.

I can see that it’s time to end this conversation. For how could I ever prevail against such well conceived, reasoned arguments as you make for your perspective on the question of ratings.

Thank you for keeping an open mind for discussion of the topic, :-)

Please no need to get personal!
