We just finished watching “Defending Jacob” on Apple, but I thought the book was much better. When Apple turned it into a series, it seemed like the storyline was being stretched to run for 8 episodes. There were changes, too. The television version got a little unwieldy. The kid playing Jacob did not have to memorize a lot of lines. He mainly had to just look sullen and not say much. But it was interesting to see Lady Mary from Downton Abbey in a completely different role.
When my book club read “Defending Jacob,” it generated a lot of discussion, especially about “Nature vs. Nurture.”
I thought the book was a whole lot better than the movie.
But I don’t know anything, yet, about “Little Fires Everywhere” except that if I watch the movie first, I probably never will get around to reading the book.

Please, read the book first. Please! You will dive into it--you won't regret it. The series is slightly different from the book in a few areas. If you read it first and then watch the series, PM me your thoughts.
