I watched the HBO mini-series before reading this book and I really enjoyed the series. That was a few years ago now, but I think I liked the series a little bit better than the book, IMO.
Personally, I think the book worked the best before the supernatural elements played in, which is odd because I really liked that part of the show. But I do want to re-watch the show just to see how it holds up to the book.
