This is a good book. I think a lot of people from a lot of different places in life and with differing viewpoints will enjoy it. You probably will too. I recommend reading it.
The only criticism I will offer is that the TV series — while very true to the novel — was presented better. I don’t often say that about movie/TV versions of popular books. I do about this one.
Read the book. First. Then watch the TV series. In that order. I believe you’ll enjoy both.
