Reply #2: My wife has read most of the books. . . [View All]

we were discussing the and, as I said it was a "series," I thought it may not follow the books but rely instead on new, short-stories written for the show to match a television format.

Are you familiar with the novels? And did tonight's show follow the book, or will the series rely on original material?

Thanks for your input. We don't subscribe to HBO, so won't watch the series until its syndicated or released to DVD, and are curious.
