![]() Then there was the physical descriptions of a number of the characters, there was a huge discrepancy between how the tv version and the book version look, for example instead of Orry’s arm (in the book) it was his leg in the mini-series. For example, where are Francis LaMotte or Cooper Main in the tv version, they are after all just as important to the story as Orry and George. Now I sit here wondering what I was thinking not pick up the book again sooner because the mini-series has truly distorted what I remembered. I even got my Husband to read it at one point, he read all three and he isn't a big reader so I get really excited when I find books that suck him in. ![]() Personally, I think I made the right choice 30 years ago, because reading this book was an amazing experience. ![]() When I first picked up North And South I was supposed to be doing research for a psych paper at Portland Community College, needless to say I got a shit grade because I really wasn’t crazy about psych and preferred the book. ![]() Don’t get me wrong I love many of those actors, just not for North And South. By reading the books I get visit with the real characters of the story not the so called ‘made for TV beautiful people’ that replaced them. I chose to revisit North And South again to reconnect with the whole story because the producers of the mini-series cut a few key characters out of the story and physically altered other characters there by taking away a lot from the story. ![]()
