True Blood: TV vs Book series? (most likely will contain spoilers)

I don't know if a thread like this has been posted yet but if it hasn't it's long past due. What are your thoughts on the tv show vs the book?

I'll start. I like that the book is so different from the series. I thought I'd be spoiling the show if I read the books but they're so different, the spoilers are kept to a minimum. Like the way we're not sure what's going to happen to Lafayette. I love when they introduce new characters from the book, I like to see who they choose to play that character and if they match the character I pictured in my head.

I prefer the books to the series. Some of the changes they made to character story lines I like (Lafayette being around longer, Tara being a main character) some not so much (while Ryan Kwanten is HOT I don't like his story line in the show more than the books)

I like the books much better. I dont think the show at this point follows the books hardly at all....Its good and bad IMO.

The books are so much better I think but I do like the added characters and twists they added to the show to "spice it up" more. My biggest complaint is that Eric was so much hotter in my imagination. Chat Icon

I also think the books are better. I do not care for most of the story lines that have developed (Jason, Tara). I wish they would show more of the Eric/Bill struggle with Sookie.

I'm betting they'll get there!Chat Icon

I like that they are different. It would be way too easy if I knew what to expect. I love how this way you stay interested...like how is Jason's story going to play out in the HBO series?
I can't say I like one better than the other...both stand up well on their own.
And BTW, I'm loving the series this year!!
