I had watched the TV show and really enjoyed it, so I figured I’d read the book. When it comes to TV/movie adaptations, I generally think the book is way better; sadly not this time. The book felt very flat in comparison, the writing was quite weird at times (a character was randomly likened to a Labrador(?) at one point). Some plot points also felt very random and like they didn’t have the proper grounding in the story.
