I read the book first and look forward to reading more by Ian Rankin. I, too, was surprised to see John Hannah as Rebus. He is too young and does not match the character in the book. He does, however, do a good job and I liked the show very much. When an actor creates a believable character, I can accept that the character may differ from the author's original character development. I am hooked on Rebus but will probably read more than watch the roles Rebus plays. I recently visited Edinburgh for the first time and already long to return. Perhaps, these books will be my only connection now that I am back in the States. I was introduced to Rankin's books while in Scotland and appreciate these opportunities to revisit my memories through books and videos.
