After reading and watching this book/show up to date I can say that the book is way better then the show will ever be. 1st off the charters in the book are way better in the show. For ex Shane Ricks best friend. In the show you can tell that he does not like Rick much and wants to kill him after the zombie apocalypse. While in the book he just loses his shit and goes all insane on Rick.
Another two charters that show this is Andrea and Carol. In the show, almost no body likes Andrea because she was just so uptight. While in the book she's an amazing sniper and also no were close to uptight. Also Carol in the show is a more badass version then the one in the book, I don't think it was a good idea. In the book she was a needed, crazy and dumb 20 year old girl. While in the show she's more like a badass sniper grandma role.
Once again I don't like the change. What once used to be a damsel in distress is now just a harden worrier. Not a good change. Also the 2 new charters are stupid. Im not even going to talk about it. Next the story changes are some times good but some times bad. If Andrea was not a stupid and horrible charter, then I would have been devastated when she died unlike in the book where she is still alive and married to Rick. Also a huge turning point was when lost his hand.
It changes Ricks character. He used to be a person who can just go out and fight but now can only use a hand gun or an knife at once not together. And thats only a few changes that were changed not for the better. There also seams to be a lot of filler in the show. In the book the "filler" moments are used to make the charters more developed. While in the show it is filler just used to fill a slot thats needed. Lastly the book is ahead of the show. Right now the show is maybe in book 13 while the book is at book 23 waiting for 24 the come out.
Im not saying that the show is bad but I am saying that the book is better. If you have not read the book but like the show read it.
