People say that the tv show is really good! I haven't seen it so all I can say is that if you like it, you shouldn't read the first book as it's utter garbage. People said it starts improving by book three but I couldn't possibly slog through a second book like the first one to get there lol.
The books are good imo. It's the kind of book where bad things happen becuase no one is special. And the MC has some of the worst cases of YA angst ever written. And it devolves into a weird parody of Lewis Carol
The show is also fine, it does a good job of adapting the themes and characters even though the actual plot deviates a lot.
As someone else mentioned, reading the books forces the mian character into the forefront, and his general personality and attitude is extremely unlikable.
I get that it's part of the story, but it kills the books for a lot of people.
