Roswell High The Outsider TV Series Melinda Metz Books

My fiancée introduced me to the "Roswell" series she used to love to watch (thanks to the magic of Netflix) and I found myself enjoying it a great deal, partly because of nostalgia, partly because of great combination of romance and SF. When one of my favorite characters died in the series, I was curious how it played out in the books, so I decided to check out the first one to see if the written counterpart is worth following.

The book itself doesn't disappoint. The fans of the series are in for a treat. The characterization is as good as in the series, but thanks to the different POVs in the book, we get to know the characters much better. Also, the differences from the screenplay make reading a whole new experience - and usually the book is better, quirkier, more interesting.

What does disappoint (apart from the book length) is the quality of conversion. The book must have been scanned, converted from one format to another and never proofread. The typos resulting from mis-scanning are numerous and irritating (a polar bear that became a polar hear is my favorite), accompanied by the special characters that are missing altogether, replaced by strange notations.

I could give it a pass if the books were 1 or 2 dollars each. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Alternatively, I could bear the high price of 8 dollars a book (the books being out of print and targeted at a small audience of fans) if the quality was on the par with the price. I am definitely going to read the following books, being really interested in how the story plays out in comparison to the series, but I dread paying almost 80 dollars in total for the material with such glaring mistakes!

Roswell High The Outsider TV Series Melinda Metz Books Reviews

I originally got this book because I missed the television series so much and while I was questionably interested in the beginning I know find it hard to stop reading. It is just as great as the tv series and even more detailed so you get a better understanding of how and why the characters on the show acted a certain way. While there are minors differences in how the characters are represented physically and personality wise, and a few typos here and there it is an all around great piece of literature that I would recommend to anyone who loved the series.
Although I liked the story, I had a very difficult time getting past the terrible editing in the kindle edition. There were so many spelling errors that it was horribly distracting. They couldn't even spell the main character's names properly. In several instances, they used a 'd' instead of a 'cl'. This was indicative of a rush-rush editing job by someone who just didn't care enough to put out a quality product. It was a real shame. I wanted to buy the next book but decided that I couldn't bear another poor quality kindle edition.
The pilot episode of Roswell was one of the better episodes of the series I've always thought, I got a copy of this book because it's the one the series is based on. While the writing style is probably aimed more at the teen market if you're older and liked the series this book won't be a bad item.
A few things are very different, Max is a blond and blue eyed senior, Liz is Liz Ortecho (whose dead older sister Rosa O'D on drugs)- instead of Parker, Michael Guerin is an A student (all three aliens are)and Isabel is the little sister- a junior in High School.
Liz's shooting is a little different than the series, Sheriff Valenti and son Kyle are meaner (and Valenti is a member of a secret government anti alien group). The incubation pods are mentioned, as is the cave, but in the book Michael came out of his pod days before the Evans (who shared a pod). A lot of things show similarity to the first season of Roswell, although not all were in the same episode- it seems obvious to me that the writers used this book as a sort of guide.
I don't know if I'll get the rest of the series but this one was a quick, fun little thing to read, and a lot more like what you saw on TV than most book to TV adaptations usually are.
I just started reading this series.. i was a huge roswell fan when the show was on, i have all three seasons on dvd and i've always been in love with the stories of the characters.. I picked up the book to see a different point of view and also to see the differences.. I'm about 3/4 of the way thru. Very good book. Much of the same plot line is the same as the show.. the first chapter and first episode are pretty much the same. Most of the differences are with the characters. In the book Liz is hispanic (i'm assuming they went with a white character in the series based on the actress who played her.. shiri was a perfect fit for liz even tho she didn't share the same race) Max is physically different, while dark mysterious and brooding in the show he is described as blonde, hunky and blue eyed in the book. I' dont really care much for the discription, as his personality is what i came to love about the character. However, after watching the series.. max evans will forever be jason behr.. and even while reading the book i evision him as such. Micheal is more likable in the book, he seems more outgoing and more friendly despite being a troubled teen in a bad foster home.. personally i perfer this michael, but I understand why they made him more defensive in the show.. they broke him down that way. So far the only character I'm having trouble liking is Isabel. I'm sure it will change as the series goes on, and I can certainly understand her standoffish demeanor, but she is quite mean in the book. Extremely conceited and almost cruel. In the show she has that exterior but when she's home she's different. However in the book she's pretty much the same at home and at school. Her invasion of dreams is quite annoying as she plays with those she invades. Unlike the series (spoiler alert~!!!) when isabel invades ur mind she doesn't simply watch as she does on the show, she can actually make u do what she wants you to do, and she takes advantage of that skill. I hope that changes because I do love her character, the one i've come to know watching the series. I see bits of it so far but not fully coming into view. If your a fan of the show, or just interested in reading a fun book thats romantic and dangerous and a little out of this world (so to speak) i recommend giving this a try.
