i've read all the alice books and this show doesn't really measure up. characters are left out and random ones are added. it's kind of disappointing.
shareI agree with you. I was so excited when I heard the show was comming out but it was a big disappointment for me. I LOVE the books so much.
shareI've only read the first book, but I feel they adapted it rather well. Sure, there are some changes, but nothing is ever adapted perfectly. I love the show :)
Each to their own, though!

I loved the show. I thought they did a good job with adapting it from the books. The show was a bit lighter, but it really worked for me. I thought by the end of the season it was getting really excellent. I'm hoping for a second season!

Yeah but I think the portrayel of Alice is very strong; it hold the show together...
shareI think you hit the nail on the head with "I imagined all the characters...different in the show." I have had that problem repeatedly with movies.
As someone who saw the show first, then realized my mother owned the book and borrowed, I think the adaption is excellent! There are some differences, obviously, but I would expect that considering the writing style (bound to be a lot of changes when adapted from a diary style). I already had the executives' interpretation of the show in my head, and it worked that way, for the most part.
