I am not a book purist and this book has only reinforced that. I think the show was  better. 

This plot requires tension and it does not come through. I thought it was very fine but lacked descriptive characteristics needed to pull everything together. 

Some of the things that happened in the book are different and a make a little more sense than what tv did. The book was just too simplistic compared to what the show was able to convey.
