Oh, I definitely agree. Character thoughts are always one of the things that shows and movies have a harder time portraying. Ironically I had a conversation about this last night. I'm certainly not opposed to people writing books about a show, but I think the process of how it happens is usually what turns me off to it. I'm fairly certain in the instances that books are created from shows, a ghost writer is hired to complete the work.Mjgarrison wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 13:30I never thought about that, I just keep thinking some shows o watch would be great with more in depth knowledge. Like what the characters are thinking.SPasciuti wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 13:18 I actually don't think I'd want this. I've always noticed that when something starts as a movie or show and then is developed into a book, the books are pretty subpar. It's pretty rare that it turns out a good book, in my experience. Though, I guess there's opportunity for me to be pleasantly surprised in the future.
And I guess, in a sense, the characters feel less real in the transition because the author didn't have a full grasp of the characters themselves and in the end it just didn't match for me. At least, that's what has happened with the ones I've read. I think if the actual writers for the show were to be the ones writing the book it might be different, but from my understanding that is a very rare occurrence.
