  I also read the "V" book. The tv version was pretty faithful to it for the
first two episodes, then they butchered it for the last one. That stupid ending
that everyone has been complaining about was done totally differently in the
book (Elizabeth changed the bomb timing delay in the ship's computer to an
infinite loop. She used the computers a lot in the book so, that made some
sense.) I thought the book was pretty decent considering that it had to go
off of a ready made plot. As far as the last episode was concerned, I think
that was too sensationalistic.
