I'm disappointed. The last pages were good, but it was really boring in the beginning!

I've seen the tv series first which was kind of a bad idea. The story is different in many ways and that ruined it a bit for me. Her friends are different, her family, hell even her looks are different. But apart from the tv series it is a good book, exciting. Just sucks that I didn't start with the books first.
