I loved the book and I'm loving the series. It's not an easy storyline to adapt to the screen -- it's a complex interweaving of characters and timelines -- but I think HBO has done an excellent job.
I feel confident rating the show so highly based on the first episodes, because I know where the story goes and can see how this the series will get there. It's disappointing to see the low reviews from people who haven't really given it a chance.
The acting is amazing, especially Mackenzie Davis. The scene where we see her first perform on stage, with flashbacks of her as a child, had me entranced and ultimately in tears.
Stick with it, and you'll be rewarded.
