I read the book, and it's really good, but that was after watching the show and I still felt that this deserved a half rating. The show is great on it's own, but things fall through for me interest wise. I think it would have been a better show if they stayed with the book story line. They changed a lot of important key things that were in the book. At this point the only thing same thing is the very beginning of the first episode, after that it's just a show with the same names as the book, nothing else is the same, basically they should have just renamed everything and worked harder on the story line and characters then they have.
