Book-Joe is way creepier than tv-Joe - at least in the beginning. And book-Beck? She was definitely more annoying. What I missed in the book, that worked well in the show, was Paco. Other things were very similar; like the way Joe hit a deer.
So which one do I prefer? I don't know. I love the charms of tv-Joe, but I also really liked the creepiness of book-Joe. Same goes for the two Becks. One thing I will say though, is that even though they were similar, I prefered book-Dr.Nicky. There was just something about him that worked so well. And the way the photos of him and Beck were discovered by Joe? Really well written.
I liked the writing style a whole lot, and I must admit I'm looking forward to read book two (as well as watch season two - I expect them to be very different from one another, based on the endings. There was no Candace in the book - who even is (was?) she? And will the book just be another "You" with Amy instead of Beck? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out!
