Hollywood got this one right.

This is one of the few times I prefer Hollywood's version to the book, with the recent start of season 3 of Rizzoli and Isles I started looking into the books. I may have made a mistake when I started reading them as I picked one of the later books to start with and I was very unhappy with what was taking place and the Connection between the Dynamic Duo was so different that they almost seemed like complete opposites to the screen version's of them. I'm probably not the first to say this, but Janet Tamaro's interpretation of Jane and Maura is far better.

Now I'm not saying that the books are bad, they are quite good but the connection between Jane and Maura in the books just seems different, not complete.... It may have something to do with How the two look at each other on the show that can't be put into words in the books, or Maybe It's how the fans of the show interpret the looks that Jane and Maura give each other. This may seem biased seeing as I started watching the show before I read any of the books or because I read a later book first. The only connection between the books and the show seems to be names of characters and location. The only book that seems to really connect to the show is the first one, then after that they seem to be two different entities all together.  Which I'm fine with as I like the show and I find the books stories of interest.

Also a lot of the fans seem to like the idea of Jane and Maura hooking up, or at least the possibility of them doing that. I've read a number of sites and blogs where fans of the show talk about the connection of the two ladies and go on with how they feel that it's only right that the two would hook up. I like the connection they have on the show, I'm not sure if them hooking up would make it better but then again it might.

I hope I haven't pissed anyone off with what was said, I just felt the need to say how I felt about the differences.  Also if Tess Gerritsen hadn't written the books and Janet Tamaro hadn't read them We wouldn't have one of the Best Shows ever.... Just saying!
