Query: Good for a laugh

If you have any interest in this story, read the book first! I think it's actually a really fast read, despite its length, and I am slightly dyslexic. The thing is that I've only seen the first episode, and I can already tell that the plot is quite chopped up, re-arranged, and butchered in the retelling. Also most of the acting leaves something to be desired. The sets, costuming and general art direction reek of fakeyness, and most of the characters are hollywood beautified. Just read the book, and maybe take a look at the miniseries later as kind of a fun jokey thing.
