I absolutely loved this book series. The show and the books are their own so do not try to compare them together at all. The books are dark, funny, sarcastic, graphic and just all right engulfing. I absolutely fell in love with the books even though I did start them after seeing the series and was thrown off a bit. But again the show and book both stand alone and cannot be put side to side. The themes are fun in each book and I just can’t get enough of the sarcastic crude nature. If you give it a read do so knowing this is a completely different story then what we see in the show, I literally cannot stress that enough. People will be mad about the books even though they came out first lol but producers took what they wanted and shaped it in a new vision like they tend to do. So if you want to enjoy a dark, twisted, gruesome, and funny series please check this out.
