I was really surprised by the book (I read it after watching the series). It is rare that I feel a TV adaptation of a story is more engaging than the the book, but that was certainly my takeaway in this instance.

Same. Was slightly disappointed, but I guess it just shows how well the show was produced. It departed significantly from the book (iirc) but made all the right choices in the process.

Good point. I enjoyed the book, but the show was just phenomenal. A testament to the caliber of production to be sure.
