But having had a brief start at reading this book, it just isn't as good as the TV show. Pick is a guy in the book whereas in the TV show it's Rosario Dawson and i just can't get my head around Pick being a man.
So i've decided to put this away for quite a few years when i hopefully may have forgotten all about the TV show and then i'll come back and give it a read. Probably not though. Me thinks it's just one of those books that will get relegated to "The Boneyard" forever.… (altro)
