To me the only thing the বই and the প্রদর্শনী have in common are the names of the characters and that there are ভ্যাম্পায়ার and werewolves. I like the বই but like the প্রদর্শনী so much better.
I think the প্রদর্শনী keeps a lot of the basic অস্থি in the বই - but the প্রদর্শনী fleshes out the story lines to make things juicier, in addition to adding new plots and twists which are necessary to keep things interesting. Each book represents an entire season in the show, so it is necessary to add things in order to have the required 12 অথবা 13 episodes. But if আপনি read the books, আপনি will see that the প্রদর্শনী does keep the vital stories alive, whilst making some much bigger, for example, the story with Sam and his family.
There is a lot that has been changed from the books. However if আপনি look at the main plot in each book they are there. A.) the killer in season one. B.) going to dallas to save the missing sheriff and the maenad. However, there are new characters and characters that died int he books, but survived on the show. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that the বই are told in first person perspective. A প্রদর্শনী that just followed Sookie would get a little boring after a while, also i think they are really trying to build a অনুরাগী base of the enire cast instead of just Sookie. Also, they are taking liberties with the importance of plots, like the decreased the importance of the trip to Dallas and increased the importace of the Maenad (who was a minor plot in the books). সামগ্রিক they are doing a good job.
They have only changed a couple of things like: lafayette was ment to die in the 2nd season but they kept him going.They have tryed to keep to the বই so its all good :) xx
I have found with the বই they are somewhat different from the প্রদর্শনী to keep it interesting enough to enjoy both. Though some story lines and names will be the same some people that are in the বই will not be in the প্রদর্শনী and vice versa. I say I enjoy both!
