I ended up watching the first couple of episodes this weekend, and so far I strongly prefer the novel. The TV show changed quite a lot of things, mostly not for the better (except for making Dr. Hill a man so he can be played by Denis O'Hare, who I love). They combined two characters to make Siobhan, but neither of the novel characters talks the obnoxious way she does on the show. Also, the novel protagonist isn't prone to violent overreaction the way the TV protagonist is. There are other changes that don't make sense to me plot-wise (in terms of what ends up happening in the novel), so I'm wondering if there are larger divergences to come. (Hilariously, Matt Czuchry was one of my models for Thomas!)
