I read Station Eleven before I knew that it had been made into a TV show.
I had even mentioned to Kevin that I didn't think I would like it if it was a TV show, because it would be too sad and traumatic.
Then, we found the show on HBO and started watching it.
And it was as if someone read the book, then got really drunk and told their very drunk friend about the story, and then that friend tried to recreate the story from their drunken memory. The same things happen, but to different characters or in different places or at different times. Some new things happen that weren't in the book at all. It is the same, but totally different.
And I liked the show, too.
So, I read another one of her books:
It was really great, too!
I have already preordered her next book, which is coming out during the week of Spring Break.
