I just finished the book, and wow those guys went through some heavy Sh*t!!. The HBO mini-series has toned down the brutality just a bit, but thats TV.

If you havent read it yet please do. The story is very well written, you can feel the emotions of these guys.

I'll pick up a copy after the series is through. For some reason, if I read a book before seeing a movie/series, the movie/series always seems so lame. ;)

I guess it's because with a book you get so much more depth that the film just seems shallow.

since the series is 10 hours long, it very closely follows the book. it helps in understanding what is going on and adds more clarity.

I read the book a while ago, and while I usually agree that movies/tv shows aren't as good as the books, the HBO series really does do the book justice. It's a damn fine miniseries. Can't wait till it comes out on DVD.
