Some books I've read this year:
I read Hail Mary last year and remember enjoying it, though I went in blind. Afterwards I read the blurb and it gave away something that happens in the middle of the book, which I wasn't expecting to happen because I knew nothing about the book. So I advise going in blind if you can.
I remember that I really enjoyed the Dirk Gently books when I had read them. Unfortunate that Adams didn't write more in that series. I absolutely love his writing. Planning to listen to the books when I finish And Another Thing.
I've just read the first one, my first introduction. But I then went on to watch the netflix series, maybe next year I'll read the other books and see how they compare.
If I remember correctly, the netflix series is quite different from the books. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. The second season not so much.
Yes, inspired by the books rather than following the books.
I also think the first season was better than the second. I didn't mind the second but maybe it was a little too different? It definitely took me a while to get into it.
I would have been interested to see what they did with a third but alas it was cancelled.
Same here. I think the "tone" of the second season was different from the first. The first season was a great adaptation/inspiration.
