alan_n 's review for:
The Night Manager
by John le Carré
3.5
Usually books pale in comparison to their adaptations so I try to watch them first (also helps me keep track of large casts). I was actually quite surprised by the mostly accurate adaptations of Tinker, Tailor and Smiley's People. I was expecting a similar case here given the tv series was so good.
The first half is very similar (just the tv series is updated to modern times) but the ending is quite different and more interesting in the tv series than the book. Book is still good but pales in that area by comparison.
There were lots of lovely political quotes and just a general political side of things that I liked that wasn't in the series that much so that made up for things somewhat.
