I first heard about this series from watching the BBC show (which I love) and thought it would be nice not having to wait until season three to find out what happens next. I was hesitant to start this series because there have been shows that I've watched first that I enjoyed a lot more then the actual book. Unfortionatly I have to say that I do enjoy the show more BUT the book/audiobook is quite good. Sometimes it's a bit hard to follow but the book is captivating like the tv show. So far I've noticed differences between book and show on the plus side and negetive side. Enough about the show now and more about the book itself. The book is a quick read with plenty of drama and humor thrown into it. I love the setting and characters who are quite likeable. I swapped back and forth with the book and audiobook and I would totally recommend the audiobook over the book. I would definitely recommend this book!
