@@cinekizzle Yes Definitely, it made Joe much more human in the books there is no relateability ,Which is great for character in a book but it doesn't translate to screen well so i think they are both the best versions of themselves. Also Santino Fontana has the best audio book voice in the world although it is creepy to think that Joe is Hans for frozen :)
I listened to both books on audio long before the tv series was made. I had to wait a year or so to watch the show, because I think I just needed a little distance from the book before I could get into the show. But, once I got into it, I was hooked. Every season has been great. I have really enjoyed your videos, as well. I am excited for the 5th season.
Now that I think about it, Joe at the end of season 4 being that way might be just so people wouldn't sympathize with him, just like the creators wanted.
I should and I will! I meant to read all the books and make videos but got busy with other things. But I'll definitely be making videos about them at some point!
@@cinekizzle 😂 I’m not sure I want to experience the joe in the books. Might just ruin the show for me ngl but it would be interesting none the less. I can definitely see what you were saying about picturing the scenes from the show while you read the books. Id 100% do that cuz I’ve watched the full show 3 times in the past couple months with 3 different people
@@qwickhelp7553 I'll report back after I read the second book, because I think when the stories start to differ it might be easier to see the two different Joes. I had to stop opening netflix and start opening hulu because every time I open netflix I just end up watching YOU lol
Solid review, I actually look forward to seeing your thoughts of Book Joe after reading/listening to the other books, because there is a noticeable difference in Joe by the time you get to book 3. P.S Now I need a Spencer Hewitt hat, where'd you get yours??
Thanks! I can't wait to get to the other books, it's on my list I just gotta find the time. As for the hat, I just bought a navy hat off amazon and quickly stitched the name into it the night before recording lol
If you like the audiobook narrator, Santino Fontana, he's actually an actor! Both TV and Broadway. He plays my favorite character in a show called Crazy Ex Girlfriend. If you enjoy musicals at all you should check that one out. He has an amazing singing voice.
Was thinking about buying the book, since I’ve watched the show like 4 times over lol, think I’m gonna buy it today. Thanks for the video! I’m gonna subscribe
After she tries and fails to escape from the bookstore, Joe angrily strangles her. She seems dead so he gets sad. But she wasn't actually dead yet so she trips him and kicks him but he ends up overpowering her and angrily strangles her again. And then he gets sad again lol
@@cinekizzle I love the you content idk if you’d watch but a show called why women kill would fit in here the story of both seasons are great and it’s an anthology
I heard about the books from the You subreddit. I read people's thoughts and pics of the pages. I seriously need to read the books! They have been on my radar for a while. I finally started reading You. Book Joe is worse than Netflix Joe. I got Patrick Bateman vibes from Joe. I've been loving the book.
So far I've only read the first book so idk about the rest of them. But I do think the show branched off a lot from the books and are very different by now.
Honestly? I prefer TV Joe because he’s seems like a nice guy and that’s what’s terrifying, a handsome, sensitive, thoughtful and cultured guy that is good in bed, a catch right? But beneath the surface, there’s the obsessive, manipulating and selfish killer. That’s more like what the author had in mind when describing her inspiration for Joe in my opinion, the dark truth or optic of the “prince charming” in every Romcom
Yeah I definitely find show-Joe more entertaining because of that. Like he seems one way to the people around him but we the audience get to be clued into what he's really thinking. It's a lot more fun that way
You show writers: We're gonna change Joe to have more heroic moments *Audience loves him* You show writers: What!? You're not supposed to like him! Audience: 🤨
what if, part of joes whole talking to his fixation about his life in his head and being the unreliable narrator means that this whooole time the alter side of himself that was reese in season 4 was in him since season 1- like what if this whole time show joe has been book joe but the show is a manifestation of his unreliable narrator, to himself even, and the false reality only collapsed in season 4 ykno- do u get what im saying? anyway i love how they tried to make us sympathize with joe in the show but it honestly didnt work he still deserves the chair in my opinion
That's fair, they do have their differences. I think if I had read the book without ever seeing the show, I don't know that I would have liked it on its own.
I'm Korean and read translated version. It was suck... It has a lot of faults. For example, Beck refer Joe as a 'maybe'. It should be translated into '썸남' but translated into '아마'. So I stopped reading it and threw away. I hope to read the original someday.
