I enjoyed this book, more so than I would have if I hadn't been obsessed with BBC's adaptation in high school. I loved comparing it to the show and seeing how things were changed and adapted. I wasn't a huge fan of the tone switch in the middle, and would have preferred at least a slight explanation sooner, but glad I stuck it out. I like how the stories wrapped up together, and how it ended. The writing is a bit too old timey for me, my companion, so I don't think I'll be continuing on with the series.
