How many cigarettes does she smoke a day?

reply

I'm just finishing up the second book, and I really don't recall her smoking, she does eat a LOT of pistachios and drinks a lot of tea though.

reply

Well, I was referring to her voice in the TV-show. So far we have not seen her eat any pistachios or drinking a lot of tea.

reply

Ah, yeah I saw season 1 before I read book 2 (she doesn't appear in the books until book 2)so I always see the actress and hear raspy voice in my head while reading the book. Her voice fits her look to me. But yeah, she probably gargled with razor blades at some point in her life too. Every other word out of her mouth in the book is a curse word or some kind of inappropriate phrase. She is a fast talker and very manipulative.

Sounds like they have taken some liberties when adapting the novel (which is usually what happens). Or maybe they are saving some of it for season two.

reply

She's eating pistachios in the second episode for crying out loud - when she's interrogating the OPA mule who is in the water tank.
