[quote=Anonymous]Yes, when David Kelley wrote the script based on the book he changed some things. The female lead characters in both are strong, fierce even, and love their children, friends and significant others (in varying degrees) to death--figuratively, and we'll see if literally. It is a murder mystery after all. Kelley brought the characters out hard to advance the story but also, especially in Madeline's case, to weave her and all the people in her life (who she loves or hates) into the suspicion/suspense of who kills who. (Kelley succeeds here, making the show much of a "thriller"/mystery than the book.) As for the entire setting, that's more of the intensity the show brings, and brings a whole new dimention to the story. I'm one who really enjoyed the book's Australian setting and am loving Monterey, high bridges and cliffs, water crashing at rocks, and unbelievable houses set at the water's edge. It's a great book and a great adaptation, IMO. [/quote]
