I was fine with the idea that the writer of the books had ideas of furthering the story, and I was prepared for that. What I was not prepared for was the alteration of the tapes. They seem to be mostly on par (ehh) but they put them entirely out of order for seemingly no reason, and they changed many aspects that us book fanatics were excited to see portrayed. Yes, I knew there were going to be additions, and yes I knew they were continuing the story passed the end of the book. But the changes they made in terms of rearranging the tapes and leaving out key details from the book upset me so badly I didn't bother to watch passed the end of season 1.
