I know we all love banging on about how the book is so much better than the film/TV show, and let’s be honest, that is often the case, but that’s not to say there isn’t merit in both. To be honest with you, as someone who at least has to consider the possibility of what my work would be like if made into a film (unlikely), or TV series (more likely), I think the best way to view it is the ‘multiverse’ perspective.
