The entire series, start to finish, repeatedly. I’ve read it at least a dozen times since the late 90s when I first discovered it. I’d read the entire series over again whenever a new book in the series was released so the first few books I’ve read far more frequently.
Then the TV show came out and now I can’t bring myself to look at it ever again.
Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous. I watch a lot of German and Scandinavian TV because they use actors that look like real people rather than Hollywood Barbie dolls.
The Wheel Of Time, by Robert Jordan
The entire series, start to finish, repeatedly. I’ve read it at least a dozen times since the late 90s when I first discovered it. I’d read the entire series over again whenever a new book in the series was released so the first few books I’ve read far more frequently.
Then the TV show came out and now I can’t bring myself to look at it ever again.
I struggle with the abundance of characters from time to time. I’ve reread some of the books just because I forgot who, what, when…
The tv shows always are a compromise. They just don’t have the time to build the characters and have to force some stuff because of that.
I have this guilty pleasure. I’ve reread ‘Interview with the vampire’ after seeing the movie and even liked the book pore afterwards.
I tell people the TV show is what you’d get if you handed the books to the CW’s teen soap/drama writers. Yes, it’s that bad.
My Darwin, the teeth in that show. All of them have PERFECT Hollywood teeth, shining brightly like a magical lantern.
Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous. I watch a lot of German and Scandinavian TV because they use actors that look like real people rather than Hollywood Barbie dolls.
Consider the TV show another turning of the Wheel. Nothing in it prevents you from enjoying the Source.
