Loved every single thing about it. It did take a bit to get used to the authors style of writing, not really knowing who, for sure, was speaking until a little bit in. He does tend to just kind of switch and mesh. But, that is not a problem when you look at how friggin great the characters are, the setting, the funny parts (a lot).....all of it. I loved this book and have already started the second. I have not seen the series, but from what I've read about the difference between the books and the show, I'm not in any hurry. I'm enjoying the hell outta the book(s) so far, and I'll just stay with them for awhile. Thank you to the author for such good stuff.
