I suppose this shouldn’t come as a shock since McGreevy is part of the team for the show.īut here is the thing, the novel has way more personality than the show. So close, in fact, that there are no real surprises from one version to the next. And the series sticks extremely close to he source material. Now, upon comparison, I must say that the Netflix series did a great job of visually casting virtually every character (the only exception being Peter’s mother, who isn’t even close). Our other main character is Roman Godfrey, son of the deceased JR Godfrey whose company runs the town. Peter can tell something is going on with the murder. Peter and his mother are gypsies who had a trailer in Hemlock Grove left to them (kinda) by a dead relative. Everyone is freaking out, so naturally they blame the new kid in school, Peter Rumancek. A girl from the local high school (in the town of Hemlock Grove) is murdered. It’s kinda a Twin Peaks murder mystery with a werewolf thrown in. HEMLOCK GROVE ( Amazon) by Brian McGreevy, turned out to be an interesting novel. So when I was offered a review copy o the novel, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to satisfy that curiosity. A lot of people have asked me if I’d read the book it was based on and if I’d also watched the first season. The series got mixed reviews, but was renewed for a second season. I’d been curious about HEMLOCK GROVE for a while.
