The show. was better. Not sure how much is the original vs. the translation, but the prose is cumbersome. Morck has the off-putting habit of constantly discussing (often internally, sometimes out loud) how sexy or kissable or arousing the women around him are. (Unless they're not, and then he comments on that.) (HE. HITS, ON. HIS. SHRINK.) Assad continues to be NOWHERE NEAR AS COOL as Akram. I'll finish, though.

So far, I have to say I like the show a little better. This is partly because Assad / Akram is not (so far) quite as awesome in the book -- though there's still time -- but also, for the audiobook version, because the narrator does the narration with a flat American accent, but gives all the characters Danish accents. THE WHOLE BOOK WAS TRANSLATED. Is this just a me thing? I've always hated when movies do that.
