Great. Stylish writing, brilliant characters, great story. Got a wee bit slow at parts. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I've watched the series and I like the show more, however I really liked the book. Not my normal genre, but the fast paced energy and jokes made it easy to go through. The book is also slightly different from the series so it was a nice surprise that the show changed the plot a little. The wrap up of the book was FAST.
