Why, why, why did I break up with my cute Muslim girlfriend... She's a rich lawyer now and I'm stuck with these fucking wannabe losers.

The show and books are completely different. The novels tend to be clearer and more to the point, whereas the show loves to spice things up with unnecessary drama. I don't know. I thought the show was bad and I quit it after a few episodes, then went and read the books (up to the third, then stopped again).

I don't think they're mind-blowing, but they're okay. Not sure it's worth the time investment. But if you absolutely must go with one of the two, go with the novels. The prose of the original authors fairs a lot better when compared to the directing and acting in the show.
