i’m so confused absolutely love the netflix series, found this a bit too dark with not enough lead up to events, since i’ve watched the show i was able to follow but i know if i hadn’t i’d have found it a bit much, just in general a bit much to read some parts might just equally be because i don’t read any kind of dark-horror
alsothe police/not police/IDK what was that????? WHY did they attack james and what was up with satanic cult storyline can’t tell if it was meant to be a police brutality type of mesage within the book or just there for the sake of it???? same goes with alyssa at the end slitting james into her arm,- feel a lot was just done for the sake of a gasp and not actually to further the plot

the series is definitely better than the book due to the fact that more threads have been finished, here some explanation was missing.

بالرغم من اختلاف طبيعة العملين في العديد من المناحي، إلا أني طوال قراءة هذه الرواية المصورة التي لم تستغرق وقتًا طويلًا في قراءتها، كنت أتذكر على الدوام رواية (الحياة الجديدة) للكاتب التركي أورهان باموق بسبب تقاطعهما في روح الرحلة وفي قصة الحب العجائبية والغاية غير المنظورة، ومع جرعة العنف العبثية التي تنطوي عليها هذه الرواية مع الطبيعة الجنونية لشخصياته التي لا يمكن إرجاعها إلى سبب واحد بعينه والقرارات التي يتخذونها طوال الرحلة بمنطقهم الخاص، يتحول العمل إلى كوكتيل جذاب من (الحياة الجديدة) مع فيلمي (ثيلما ولويس) لربدلي سكوت و(قتلة بالفطرة) ﻷوليفر ستون.

I thought the TV show was strange but watchable, the comic on the other hand is just strange. Never hated a book this much.

Parça pinçik bir kitaptı ya. Dizisini izlemeseydim olayları anlamazdım kesinlikle. Ama şimdi bu kitabın sonu ile dizinin sonu aynı sayılır, bu demek oluyor ki ikinci sezon çizgi romandan bağımsız olacak. İlk defa bi diziyi kitabından daha çok sevdim.

C'est hyper difficile pour moi d'évaluer ce livre sachant que j'ai vu (et revu) l'adaptation en série avant de lire le livre
Super cool de découvrir d'où vient toutes ces phrases iconiques
J'ai été surprise toutefois de voir à quel point la série s'était développée seule de son côté
Les personnages y paraissent beaucoup plus développés, on voit davantage leur personnalité changer et leur lien s'approfondir à l'écran (c'est aussi ce qu'on voit dans le comic obvio mais ça y est beaucoup plus implicite là-bas je trouve)
Ça m'a rendue triste en tout cas :c
Je trouve que la série a un côté plus comique aussi hmmh
BREF CES ŒUVRES SONT SUPER COOLS
Le plot satanique je m'y attendais pas??
Les flics lesbiennes dans la série donnent une autre vibe ahaha

The Netflix series of this took me by surprise and left me in the deepest of feels and absolutely shook. It was that good. I absolutely loved it and got excited when i realized it was based on this graphic novel. Netflix really did a great job of bringing the vision of this book to life and foreal y'all need to read AND watch the tv show!
