I enjoyed the book, but I'm not yet sure I liked it enough to continue with the series. I really wasn't a fan of the writing, but the story was interesting and compelling enough to keep me. I think, contrary to the pacing of the show, this was almost too fast-paced. I also found the romance plot between Lukas and Juliette off-putting, it didn't make sense to me at the start as it formed so was hard to accept as it progressed and detracted from the main plot. Excluding the obvious differences in storytelling between print vs screen, I felt that the changes made by the show runners better represented / portrayed the central themes and character development than the book did.
