pickle Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I read them ages ago and really don't remember there being much if any french apart from the odd expression when she is working in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I have the box set of the first three books, I haven't read them as yet and have still to watch the show But you plan on watching, right? Are the books set in Montreal at all? If so I wouldn't be surprised if there was french spoken in them. I have 'Deja Dead' up on my shelf ready to be read next and I can't wait!

They are mostly set in Montreal...I really don't think there is much similarity between the books and show (which I have yet to see but must get round to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the TV show is nothing like the books, but I'm still looking forward to picturing David B in my head when I start reading! Well in all honesty, I don't really need a reason to picture him in my head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrarian Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Any French in the books is explained in the narrative and it works in very well. It is not off-putting. Concerning the TV series and the books there is no similarity other than some names. I do not find her character in the series to be very likable. She is portrayed with few social skills and is quick to point out how smart she is to everyone and others don't measure up. The other TV characters are likable. The books are different. She is smart but she has problems like everyone else as she has a daughter, separated from her husband etc. For what it's worth I like most of the books.
