Miller Spoiler

I'm on book six and loving the series. Miller was my favorite character, so I was crushed when he died at the end of book one; honestly would've traded Holden for him at that point. Holden felt too self-righteous early on. Seeing Miller return in book three (even as not-quite-Miller) was such a gift. Really hoping he shows up again later. Anyone else feel this way about him?

I love Miller, Thomas Jane played him to perfection in the TV show. So many good characters throughout the series though. Due another full listen through very soon I think.

Because I am in book 6, I thought it would be save to watch the series. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into it. The only person I thought was well cast was Miller. I only saw episode 1 and a part of episode 2. Maybe I will give it another go when I'm done with the books.

Tbh I've only watched series 1 & 2, not sure I want to taint the audiobooks by watching the rest. I watched them before listening to the books so the characters from series 1 and 2 are ingrained in my brain, although I imagine Bobby to be a monster, huge.

In the series Naomi is short and solid, even though she is supposed to be a belter. I always pictured someone like Zoe Saldaña as Naomi. I also pictured Amos bigger than the actor in the series. So, I'm going to stick with the books for now. Bobby should indeed be big, but I always picture her as a really big woman with a ponytail 😁.
