It was one of those good stories, you know what I mean, the kind of story that makes you look nervously at the amount of pages left and read as slowly as possible....the kind of story that makes you check the time and get mad when you realize that you already watched 5 episodes.

Its the kind of story that makes you slow down and take your time, a kind of story that's hard to find.

I've already said that these guys do Not fit some standars that people give them and this goes in the same line

I just love how Stroud came up with the perfect construct of a leader ( Lockwood) and even gave his name to the books( Lockwood and Co.) to end up saying, boom, thats not what you thought.I really love also the way he didnt need to make Anthony mean or cold hearted( I know in the show they say smth in that line but honestly...couldn't be more far from the truth) just to make him fit into the "annoy-to-love" relatioship with Lucy (which im very grateful for because God knows how much I love the way they are both just kind of akward amd just refuse to accept that they are more than just "colleagues")

They really took the pretty boy, the confident guy, the show off and just gave him a "secondary" role as well as just the softest personality ever.

Also I love how Lucy wasnt just presented as the female character to cut the cope, and also how she wasnt the "chosen" one nor the girl who was just perfect, she had flaws, as well as just fear and I really loved seeing some fear on the main character, on the person sho was supossed to get everything done and kind of know how to sort it.

They presented us a main character who was a bit lost in life and that was okay, it was quite alright.

Finally, George, dont even know where to get started, Stroud really said :okay, here goes this little Problem obssesed, this nerd with glasses and little social skills....now make him the most sarcastic character ever, give him just this superficial look and that confidence built over the fact of knowing that you are always right

You just get then George Karim, probably the most courageous whimp out there.

I think its just nostalgia, but its really great to see another story thats just so good...It really reminds me of some of the best stories that i have ever read, and its not because its a similar plot or similar characters, at all: its more due to a sense of recognizing another story that will live with me forever.
