read for the work book club – speed listened because i forgot about it until like the Friday and book club is tomorrow, Tuesday.
it was… fine. i could see the ending telegraphed from chapter 3, and the characters all seemed very very plain and too basic.
the only thing this made me realize is that if you do want to write a book with a higher probability of making it into a TV show 2 things help:
- Writing it from multiple first person POV (think wheel of time, game of thrones). Multiple POVS = easier to convert to a script that narrates events.
- Ideally set somewhere where non American accents exist.
