Re: The Strain
Books are pretty good too. The ones that have Guillermo Del Toro's name on the cover are about 1/2 of the ones without on Amazon for Kindle.

Series started good (the books) but I was "meh" by the end. I don't think I finished the last one.

Bummer, Shaf and I differ on a few things but his opinions on books sometimes matches mine.

It's been a while, but it was kind of like bouncing the rubble by book 3

Re: The Strain
This show is a good one.
Given the two shitty comedies and the abortion that is Tyrant, FX needed a good one.

Re: The Strain
2nd half of the 3rd book picked up. Should be some good visuals if the TV show follows the books.

Re: The Strain
Damn it, I'm going to have to torrent the first two or three to catch up
Re: The Strain
Never read the books. The show is pretty decent so far.
Re: The Strain
Read the books. Not bad. At times it seems like the wheels are coming off but then it tightens up. Ending is good and is fairly rapid after the middle of book 3.
