It’s legal but insane. Your wife should start looking for a new job.

Not impossible, but I’ve failed thus far. Most people do. There aren’t a lot of exciting jobs in the world and a lot of people who want them.

The knowledge that I have to go to work for the rest of my life. Other people get to live remarkable lives, and I don’t. This is it. Forever.

I watched the show and then started reading the first book. From what I can tell so far a lot of the weird writing decisions that confused or annoyed me in the show are not present in the book, though there are other aspects of the show I liked a little bit more than the book like how some of the characters are portrayed.

Overall I’d say both versions are good with the book being slightly better. I would recommend the show whether you intend to read the book or not.
