I just finished the books. They are *fine* but not my favorite. Does the show elevate the material? I like the premise, but the characters in the books feel a little hollow. Would this show work for me?

angerbot posted:The books are essentially beach/airplane reading. I think the show has a better pacing (in parts) where they've clearly taken time to add some padding. Open Source Idiom posted:I thought the show did so much to elevate the book's characters and worldbuilding. Mokotow posted:The books were written fairly early in Howley’s career, who is an ok writer at best anyhow. He usually creates a unique world (he’s good at that) and sets up characters within that framework, but actually doing something interesting with them, aside from solving the main problem, is not something he excelled at at that point. Silo the TV series does a good job of fleshing out the societies, relationships and just adding more humanity to the story. Four seasons should be perfect to strike a balance between those aspects. These are exactly the answers I was hoping for, thank you. Books are pretty thin in parts, but offer a cool skeleton that could be built on.
