Basically, the show just gives more depth to the novel. The pilot is basically is all of the first book and if you read the second book, it goes off into completely different directions. It will not spoil anything for you as the book and the show are distinctly different. But, I will assure that neither is a disappointment. It is just whether which one you read or watched first is more prioritized in the mind. So, if you watched the show first, you will feel that the book is disappointing in comparison. And if you read the book first, the show is disappointing in comparison. But, both actually are very good!(less)

They are very different from each other, not just in overall story but also the characters and their development. You'll find the show turns out to be more descriptive about the surrounding -what the earth has become- than the book itself (partly because we can see it and don't have to visualize based on text) where as the book tells you a good detailed structure of the Ark.

It's a brilliant series. You'd fall in love with the same character from the show and book in two different ways. The character development as well as relationships between the characters are different in both.

The show take you on an adventure. You know you are sitting behind a screen and watching. You'll laugh and cry with the characters while while reading the book, you become the character. You know their fears, love, ideas, etc.

All in all, each take you on a different story; a different experience.My suggestion would be to not compare the book and the show. They have their own life. I wouldn't even call them siblings. More like far cousins. Try to understand the book as a baseline for the show and not the other way around. Compare the idea of characters (how they came to be as they are currently) and not the characters themselves or even their actions.

Further, don't worry about spoilers. As I said, the show and the book are like far cousins.(less)

Are there bisexual characters in the books? I know there are in the TV show but I'm not sure if that was added later. Thanks!

Alaina I'm sorry to say, they hint at it at the end of The 100, Homecoming.â€¦m´Ç°ù±ðI'm sorry to say, they hint at it at the end of The 100, Homecoming.(less)

Given the strict population laws in the Colony, what happens when twins are born? I find it hard to believe that it's never happened before, but the idea of siblings seems so foreign to everyone.

Michael Adams I assume they can make exceptions. Or, since their technology is advanced, they probably know when twins will happen and will terminate that pregnancyâ€¦m´Ç°ù±ðI assume they can make exceptions.
