Like the show very much, like the actor very much.
My only real complaint is that the ‘twists’ are broadcasted. I’m not generally good at this, and I don’t usually try too hard, so the fact that I’ve seen these coming shows they are made too obvious.
Are they as obvious in the books? And, if so, is it okay–maybe the point of the books are not the plot so much as the characters and light mood?

The books are better written, and I am a big fan of them. I’m not sure though that I could say that they hold too many surprises. For me they are a better than mind-candy, but not a feast. They are fast paced and there is - as you say - a light mood.
