Content warning Comparisons of TV show & Novel, so possible spoilers for both
I've read the first couple of sections and really enjoying it so far, but it's interesting to note the differences between the book and the TV show.
1) Jeevan meets Kirsten in the book but apparently doesn't take her to his brother's place. Will they meet at all? 2) The Prophet built his cult on the Station Eleven book in the TV show, but in the book it seems to be based on Christianity. Also he seems to be looking for child brides rather than being a leader of lost children. I assume he will turn out much less sympathetic in the book. 3) The traveling symphony set out for the airport of their own accord in the book, rather than being coerced. Well it's not entirely their choice, but it's not anybody from the airport forcing them to go there.
I wasn't expecting them to be identical, of course.
