I can't think of any of the books that I disliked. And I don't have a favorite, either - they all had something that I enjoyed. But my favorite scene was the connection towards the end of the sixth book, when they're fighting off DuPris. I just loved the description of how they were all standing united as they broke free. But I was always a sucker for the connection parts. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I only read one of the original series, the first one cuz I never really saw the books around where I live. I read some of the books based on the tv show though and I liked them but then I stopped reading them cuz the library only had like three books out of order. I loved the show though and that's why I started reading the books.

I know, I really want to. But none of the bookstores at my house have the books when I go and the library has them all out of order. It's like #1-3, then #5 and #7 or something. Like really off. So I'vebeen wanting to get the books off the internet or something but I dont have a credit card and I didnt get them for Christmas [img]smilies/pout.gif[/img] Didnt get any of the books I asked for. I wanted the enitre set of Roswell High and a collectors Edition of HArry Potter. But nobody got me either. I think people want me to be illiterate [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

my favorite part about these books was maria and micheal... i loooved their charachter soooo much better in the books rather than the series. I liked maria in the series for the most part, but i couldn't stand series micheal. i could go either way with the valenti's, and i like nicholas and adam waaay better than tess. Then ending was great too. Alex completely different between the show and books, i like them both equally; same with Isabel. Max was mostly the same, so was Liz. I liked having Liz's background though, and Micheals foster homes.

I loved the Roswell books as well, though not as much as the TV series. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I enjoyed Michael/Maria in the books though I hate M/M in the TV series. And Isabel’s character was also more enjoyable in the books IMO. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'm a Candy in both the show and the book. I like both depictions of the couple, differences and all. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I really do wish they'd kept the storyline about Liz's sister in the tv show. I really felt it gave me a better handle towards understanding Liz's character and her family dynamics.

I loved Adam. One of my favorite fictional characters. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I guess I was lucky that I started reading the series when the tv show was still on the air, so the books weren't hard to find. Unfortunately, I didn't read them early enough to get them with the original covers, and I would have preferred those to the ones with the WB show covers (only because they would have gone better with the depictions from the book series). Still, it's what's inside the books that's really important. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What bothered me the most was how much Max changed in the transition from book to tv show. The main thing was isn't he supposed to be blonde? and there's more but igotta go

I don't think the appearance of the book characters is such a big deal.

I think mainly because i didnt really undertstand in the oringal books, and because i saw the tv show before i read the books i got to understand the show more before reading the books, and reading the newer books based of the show i am more famliar with the characters.

I'd been a Roswell fan for a while before discovering the books, and I love the books. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've tried reading the novellizations -- most are pretty poor.

I read those all in high school I have to say I really enjoyed them. They followed the show and made new stories.
