Unfaithful adaptation
by thecomputationallinguist2023-08-21
5/10

"This review is from someone who has read and loves the books.

I advise others to turn off their screen and read the book instead. Better yet, Audible's recording narrated by Jonathan Keeble is fantastic. Edit after episode 2: ep 2 ..."
