I read this book after watching the series so many time I can recite the script with the actors. I would not have been disappointed if the book followed the series exactly (or should I say series follow the book). I really liked finding out some of the back stories but was upset that the character traits of some of my beloved characters were actually based off other people in the book. Some were combined with others. Carrie was not the sweet introspective girl just trying to find love but a crazy party girl trying to have a good time and pretty sloppy most of the time. I am glad the series writers changed the characters as they did. I would recommend this book even though it is so different, I know it is almost impossible at this point to read the book first and in this case I don't think this is even that important.
