Watched it, but somehow I don't see it's "epicness".

reading the book after the movie/series is shit. don't do it.

the purpose of books is to make your imagination do all the work (imagining characters, environments, fights, ...).
once you've seen all that on the screen, the book will never be as good as it should be.

I've done it both ways, eg, read American Psycho then watch the film and watch Fight Club then read the book. I wouldn't really say there is that much of a difference.

One of the great things about this series however is the week by week suspense, the surprise and not knowing what's coming. If you read the books then try to watch the series it wouldn't be nearly as good. If however you wait for the series to be finished then read the books, you can still apprieciate the subtle nuances and the literary tale but you also got to enjoy it on TV.

However my advice to the journal author is not to watch the book until the entire series is actually finished. It would be impossible to "just try reading until the end of the first season", you would find yourself wanting more.

I think it works different when it's about movies. Series create a lot of suspense by choosing to the moment to stop the episode. Reading the book(s) of a series before watching it would get rid of that suspense.

I do think that it does not make that much of a difference for a movie, though you always have a certain image of the characters and situations in your head after reading a book and if the actors are not good or if it's a low budget film you might get disappointed because your imagination makes you expect more. However, if the movie is really good that would mean that it exceeds your expectation, which is certainly a good thing.

Reading a book after watching the movie has some value since books mostly contain more information on side events which is interesting.
