I hate it when great books get messed around with . The same thing happened with "Pillars of the Earth" and I felt stupid cause I had urged people to watch it based upon the book and it was nothing like the book at all. We are only one episode in and already the plot has deviated from the book - in fact, it deviated in the first scene . I have to say that the computer graphics are amazing because the backdrops are very good but why mess around with the original story ? I can see no good reason to alter the story - its annoying for people who have read it . As Ken Follett advises on the series , I can only think he is paid a Kings Ransom to allow this to happen and as both books were best sellers, its only going to put off viewers when they tune in to find that the TV series has been altered . I have given it 6 - I would have given 5.5 if it had been possible. I will watch it primarily because TV on a Saturday night is so bad, I have no options .
