Showerthought: People keep saying 'the book is always better' without reading the book first
In my club, we read 'The Power' and then watched the show. Three people said the book was better before we even met, but they admitted they hadn't finished it. I checked the Goodreads group for the show, and over 40% of the top comments said the same thing without giving book details. This matters because it shuts down real talk about what each version does well. How can you compare if you only know one side? Has your club run into this with an adaptation?
