The series follows the novel to perfection. While I appreciate the fidelity to the book, it makes for a lot of confusion. I read the novel years ago, so the flashbacks and inclusion of every character's thoughts and actions proved a bit tedious and confusing.
However, the series was excellently cast. With the exception of Camille, everyone was exactly as they were described in the novel. While Amy Adams' portrayal was good, it's not how I envisioned Camille. She even seemed a bit too old for the part.
As for the predicable ending, that's how it was written. I can't remember if the book clarifies how am adolescent girl managed to carry all that out by herself. I wish an explanation would have been offered in the series.
