Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

I never saw the TV series, or read the books, and I was looking for something new. I wondered if the book would compare to the hype. I'm 220 pages in and am pleasantly surprised. Aside from one or two parts I could have done without (animal cruelty related), I'm enjoying this one. On the plus side it's well written and imaginative. On the negative, there are a LOT of characters (with nicknames) to keep track of. I'll check back in a few weeks when I've finished.
