I'd say this book is much better than the TV adaptation because too much is compacted, twisted and abbreviated to fit into the adaptation when it shouldn’t be. There are already too many unanswered questions as it is in the book that are given even more short shrift in the TV adaptations. Even the anime doesn't do the storyline the justice it deserves. Nor does the second season of the TV adaptation.

Apple, I want my money back

This is my favorite of all his books so far. The images remain fresh. A great original suspenseful read.
