You are going to be disappointed not by the books but by the TV show.

Aren't the TV shows always a disappointment after reading the book? That has been my experience.

Two diferent ways of comunicating, one depends more on thoughts, the other on action, that needs diferent skills from the authors and directors.

But the real diference is that the book depends on one author and consumes only the author time with a small participation of the business men on his work.

Movies are an activicty that depends on a lot of money and of the producers, it is no longer one man product but a team production, including other external companies to the main studio, nothing depends on one single idea or will but in a capability of making compromises and some political skill to deal with a lot of departments.

It is this, not only but also, it is not possible to explain the complexity of TV or Cinema on any post but I wouldnt think we could explain the complexity of comunication or the capability of some men to comunicate feelings or thoughts on some sheets of paper.

I am reading:
Never Mind Philae’s Topsy-Turvy Touchdown, Its Brief Mission Advances Comet Science on Internet (another way of comunicating)

"After being briefed on the CIA Inspector General report today, I have no choice but to call for the resignation of CIA Director John Brennan. The CIA unconstitutionally spied on Congress by hacking into Senate Intelligence Committee computers. This grave misconduct not only is illegal, but it violates the U.S. Constitution’s requirement of separation of powers. These offenses, along with other errors in judgment by some at the CIA, demonstrate a tremendous failure of leadership, and there must be consequences."

Mark Udall

And we all being spied for no reason and Edward Snowden on Russia and Wikileaks? The tail out of this last years of a new Status Quo against freedom of any kind, is the Senate of The USA worried with that or only with Senators being spied Mr Mark Udall?

ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE

I am rereading this nice fiction book and a vastly entertaining feat of storytelling.
