I did read this 10 book series straightâŠ
It would be for me impossible to follow it otherwise. Even so, I didnât get half of it. Thereâs this part of the narrative that was just âwhat on Earth is going onâ until the very last book. But it was a painful read at times. At least the guy did finish his story⊠

At least you finished it. I had all Steven Kings rambling Dark Tower opus, and had to stop midway through the nonsense of the last volume.

In his case, the lack of drugs are a hell of a thingâŠ
Has anyone watched the first Scarpetta series on Prime, it is skipping from book1 to current and back again , spoiling reading if you are in the wrong place in the series . Like dead characters coming back to life . TV Series from book series often donât work
I as so excited NOW âŠ
I watched the first episode yesterday, having read the first 10 books on hardback back when they came out.
It really threw me having it jumping back and forth like it did, but I will watch some more and see how it develops
I watched episode 2 last night it doesnât improve much !!
I switched back to Cross which as another 20+ book series seems a lot closer to the story line. Itâs a long tome since I read book 1

It doesnât feel like thereâs much hope for the series, but I will certainly try a couple more episodes (currently only 1 episode watched)
Yes I also read the first x volumes of Cross and also enjoyed them (though the earliest ones were quite sick) and then they went off the rails. The TV series is strong for that, I really enjoyed series 1 and I am currently enjoying series 2 on my own, as the wife has bad memories of reading the first couple of books.
Not sure if you have read any Andrew Mayne books, but you might enjoy his Theo Cray series (The Naturalist series) and itâs following books which become more interlocking in story line and characterâs. Nice easy and enjoyable reading for me these days.

I have never forgiven him for that last chapter.
There was even a plan for revenge. A DETAILED revenge plan.

Finished the ordeal of âZones of Thoughtâ today. Donât recommend it at all, donât do it to yourself kids 
Also finished watching the 6 seasons of Peaky Blinders as apparently I had only watched 3 of them. Didnât enjoy the last ones but now I can watch the movie knowing what on earth is going on.
I have also just started reading Alchemised, I donât often find books instantly compelling but this one had me hooked within the first couple of pages.
