The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
skooby8o5x:
I happened to walk into my local library an saw proven guilty and read the rest of the books coming from there not nowing there was other books so debating if I should go back and read them from storm front been hooked on the book ever since
Alabaster:
I found the books because of the series I am ashamed to say :-\. I had heard of Jim but hadn't read any of his work. I saw the "based on" thing on the series credits and bought the first 5 books at my local waldens. Within 4 days I had them read, and I went back and bought the next 4, waited impatiently for the next to come out and promptly bought it the day it came out, lol. Since then I have reread them all twice and have had to repurchase many of them because they became casualties in my war to get everyone to read them, lol.
I prefere to think that I found the author because of the show though, because I fell in love with the Alera books as well.

in the last few years there have been quite alot of vamps, comics and other action tv shows, some of them are not all that bad.
I saw parts of the tv show, and it just wasn't good.
although, it was hard to see the changes done to characters.
bob being a human ghost or something.
I always pictured him as a voice coming from a ghost with eyes that shine whenever he is "on".
morgan being on something of a strict c.o. with dresden instead of a nemesis.
I didn't like it.
add to it, the scene in small favor when harry electrocuted that fallen angel with an electric cord, if you realy think about it, it all took place in 2 seconds, but in the book it was a page of fun action.
you can't take books into tv shows without real effort and probably alot of money to back it.

*confused* So how does this make it so you wouldn't have picked up the books if you had seen the show first? Or was that a misstatement?
MBH:
Shecky... he means that he didn't like the show and therefore if he saw the show first he wouldn't have read the books. Which personally, seems like a silly idea to me. Books are always better than the movies/tv shows that are based on them.
OrangeWolf:
Is it just me, or does the poll in this section not offer a "No, I read the books first" option? I could be reading one of them wrong.
