I loved the books and so far I'm loving the series. I think the changes they've made work for tv adaption, fans need to stop nit picking and just enjoy it for what it is. They don't say 'loosely' based for nothing. It's close enough for me! I'm just happy to see one of my all time favourites on the screen and I cannot wait to see how they progress the show to aline with the 'future' post viral chapters of the book!
