I watched (and loved) the HBO show... so I was pretty nervous to read the book. Would it hold up? Would it make the show less fun? Would it be too soon to read and enjoy the book?
All of my fears were squashed almost immediately. I loved the book — and thought it only added to the show.
There were enough differences between the book and the adaptation that I stayed on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen.
But there were enough similarities that it felt like I was getting backstories on all of my beloved characters — not getting a rewrite of entirely new characters.
For anyone else who loved the show, I highly recommend the book.
Absolute perfection. I want to read 100 more books just like this. Exactly what I was looking for in a “between Christmas and New Years” novel.
Absolutely fantastic heist novel. This book convinced me that I need to read A LOT more heist books. Plz send recommendations
