People that say the series is "exactly" like the books are selectively remembering. Bosch is a Viet Nam vet, not Afghanistan. J.Edgar prefers selling real estate over being a cop. Where is Kiz- his longest partner? They also throw too many books into each season. And Maddie? Ugh. I prefer the books, obviously. No offense.
I really like Ballard in the books, and I don't think I've ever seen Crate+Barrell in them. I've read all the Bosch books, too. She pretty much interacts with only Bosch, and that's kind of on the sly because he's suing the LAPD. If you've read the books, you'd also know that Kiz was his longest partner, not J.Edgar.
