"Your novel should not be the exact same thing as the TV series." Harlan Coben has turned 13 of his novels into Netflix shows. This is what he thinks of TV adaptations: "Reading is a different experience than watching TV. When I do adaptations, I don't mind making huge changes, because I think the mistake people make is: I want my TV series to be a faithful reproduction of my novel. But it can't be, if it's a great novel, because novels are interior. Novels have internal dialogue. You have to find other ways of telling that story." "A lot of writers say, if I'm gonna do an adaptation, it has to be exactly faithful to my book." "I've already had the experience of reading a novel. If you want the experience of reading I Will Find You, read I Will Find You. Why would I want you to repeat the exact same experience on Netflix?"
