Which audio version did you listen to, Andy Serkis recently re did them as the narrator and did a great job. Better than the original in my opinion. Serkis is a very talented dude.

IIRC the book is very different than the movie, but it's excellent.

you think the love triangle between Hooper and Mrs Brody made the book better than the movie?

Series so not a movie, but The Last Kingdom seasons 1 is definitely better than the first 2 books.
No no no. God no. How could you say this.
You’re a crazy person.

This makes me think you never read the books. Uhtred is an all time book character. Equal parts intimidating, benevolent and hilarious.
The show character did not come close to matching the book.

The casting of Uhtred was atrocious. Which is a shame bc every other character esp Alfred was casted fine.

I came on here to say this. The book was not memorable...the movie is a freaking classic.
