I haven't seen the mini-series yet as I wanted to read the book first but I kept putting it off. I completed the book around midnight yesterday and loved it so will definitely watch the mini-series. The readathon and the april group read was a good motivation to start the book!

I agree. Its too difficult to read a book after watching a tv/movie adaptation. However, the inverse is actually fun cause I guess you see your imagination/vision during the reading come to life.

For example, every time I re-read Harry Potter, I would keep imagining Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione and so on as opposed to before when my imagination was wild. Its hard to get it out of your head lol.
