YOU Book vs. TV Show Comparison & Biggest Differences
Here's my video talking about the biggest differences between YOU (2014) and season 1 of YOU, comparing the two stories and discussing why changes were made in the process of adapting the book to a series, how those changes affect the story and our perception of Joe Goldberg and my thoughts on how the book, along with YOU season 4, could give us some insight into Joe's fate in season 5.
I listened to YOU as an audiobook, narrated by Santino Fontana, and it was such a great experience. As I listened, I noticed changes the show made from its source material and very quickly I realized I was hearing from a very different Joe than the one from the show. It was really interesting to explore the way the show leaves us with a different impression of Joe Goldberg than the book does.

@@cinekizzle Yes Definitely, it made Joe much more human in the books there is no relateability ,Which is great for character in a book but it doesn't translate to screen well so i think they are both the best versions of themselves. Also Santino Fontana has the best audio book voice in the world although it is creepy to think that Joe is Hans for frozen :)
I listened to both books on audio long before the tv series was made. I had to wait a year or so to watch the show, because I think I just needed a little distance from the book before I could get into the show. But, once I got into it, I was hooked. Every season has been great. I have really enjoyed your videos, as well. I am excited for the 5th season.
Now that I think about it, Joe at the end of season 4 being that way might be just so people wouldn't sympathize with him, just like the creators wanted.
I feel called out for drafting emails or text messages, usually angry ones. I never send them, though, so it's more therapeutic than anything.
You should do a hidden bodies vs season 2 really like to see that

I should and I will! I meant to read all the books and make videos but got busy with other things. But I'll definitely be making videos about them at some point!
Solid review, I actually look forward to seeing your thoughts of Book Joe after reading/listening to the other books, because there is a noticeable difference in Joe by the time you get to book 3. P.S Now I need a Spencer Hewitt hat, where'd you get yours??

Thanks! I can't wait to get to the other books, it's on my list I just gotta find the time. As for the hat, I just bought a navy hat off amazon and quickly stitched the name into it the night before recording lol

I can definitely see what you were saying about picturing the scenes from the show while you read the books. Id 100% do that cuz I’ve watched the full show 3 times in the past couple months with 3 different people

After she tries and fails to escape from the bookstore, Joe angrily strangles her. She seems dead so he gets sad. But she wasn't actually dead yet so she trips him and kicks him but he ends up overpowering her and angrily strangles her again. And then he gets sad again lol
Was thinking about buying the book, since I’ve watched the show like 4 times over lol, think I’m gonna buy it today. Thanks for the video! I’m gonna subscribe

So far I've only read the first book so idk about the rest of them. But I do think the show branched off a lot from the books and are very different by now.
I heard about the books from the You subreddit. I read people's thoughts and pics of the pages. I seriously need to read the books! They have been on my radar for a while. I finally started reading You. Book Joe is worse than Netflix Joe. I got Patrick Bateman vibes from Joe. I've been loving the book.
Honestly? I prefer TV Joe because he’s seems like a nice guy and that’s what’s terrifying, a handsome, sensitive, thoughtful and cultured guy that is good in bed, a catch right? But beneath the surface, there’s the obsessive, manipulating and selfish killer. That’s more like what the author had in mind when describing her inspiration for Joe in my opinion, the dark truth or optic of the “prince charming” in every Romcom

Yeah I definitely find show-Joe more entertaining because of that. Like he seems one way to the people around him but we the audience get to be clued into what he's really thinking. It's a lot more fun that way
I just realized that you look a little like Victoria Pedretti! 😯

Hello , you
what if, part of joes whole talking to his fixation about his life in his head and being the unreliable narrator means that this whooole time the alter side of himself that was reese in season 4 was in him since season 1- like what if this whole time show joe has been book joe but the show is a manifestation of his unreliable narrator, to himself even, and the false reality only collapsed in season 4 ykno- do u get what im saying? anyway i love how they tried to make us sympathize with joe in the show but it honestly didnt work he still deserves the chair in my opinion
his mother did abuse him i think it was mentioned in book 3
I read the first book after watching Season 1, and was not at all impressed. The series was far more interesting and engrossing, IMO.

That's fair, they do have their differences. I think if I had read the book without ever seeing the show, I don't know that I would have liked it on its own.
Absolutely obsessed with serial killer shows like YOU and DEXTER…should that be worrying? 😂
